Arison Group Tours TAU’s EcoBuilding

Ms. Efrat Peled, Chairman and CEO of Arison Investments, visited campus last week to tour the construction site of TAU’s iconic EcoBuilding, the new home for the Porter School of Environmental Studies. During the tour, the group learned about the unique features of the EcoBuilding – the first “green building” at TAU and also one of the first of its kind in Israel – and discussed the importance of environmental research and sustainable planning for the future.

Ms. Peled also met with TAU President Joseph Klafter to talk about ways the University and the Arison Group could partner with one another to promote environmental sustainability.

A licensed CPA, Ms. Peled holds an EMBA from Kellogg-Recanati, an international program of TAU and Northwestern University. She also holds a BA in Accounting and Economics and a postgraduate diploma in Real Estate Appraisal and Management from TAU.
