Coming from Route 4 South:
Go straight to the north, do not turn at the sign for "Bar-Ilan University," but instead bypass the campus and continue North on Route 4. Turn right at the Coca-Cola Junction direction Givat Shmuel. Turn right immediately after the traffic lights and continue straight. The Northern entrance gate located at the next traffic-light intersection.
Coming from Route 4 North
Turn right at the exit of Givat Shmuel and Bnei Brak ("Coca-Cola Junction"). At the traffic lights turn right then right again. Cross the bridge over the road and continue straight for four. After two traffic lights are at the Northern entrance of the university (on the right).
Via the University's Main Entrance (not recommended)
If you've reached the main gate, you need to bypass the university. Go straight on Max and Anna Webb street, and continue past the first roundabout. At the second roundabout (Independence Square) turn left off Jabotinsky. After about 3 kilometers you will reach the third roundabout. Turn left at this square, (Jabotinsky Street), and the northern entrance is located just after the traffic light, on the left.

What can I do in the studio?
The studio is intended to record music, but radio recordings, discussions and lecture are also possible: if you are interested in making a recording of this nature, please let us know while booking.
