History
The Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yafo was established in 1994 as a joint initiative of Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and the Planning and Budgeting Committee of the Council for Higher Education as a public college. The inaugural president of the college was Professor Elazar Kochva, a zoologist affiliated with Tel Aviv University and one of the college's founding proponents, served in this role until 2000.
In the first years of its operation, the college operated on four small campuses throughout Tel Aviv-Yafo: on Antokolsky Street, the School of Computer Sciences, on Dafna Street, the School of Behavioral Sciences, on Szold Street, the School of Computer Sciences and on Melchet Street - the School of Economics and Management and the School of Government and Society. The current campus of the college was constructed on the site formerly occupied by the remains of the Eisenberg Hospital in Yafo.
In 2019, student dormitories with 400 rooms were inaugurated on campus.
