The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints finally bought a plot of land on Mount Scopus, and construction for the BYU Jerusalem Center began in 1984.
Eventually this dispute was settled, and the Center opened to students in 1987, and the building was dedicated for Church use in 1989.
After the onset of the Second Intifada, security for BYU students in Israel-Palestine became increasingly harder to secure, and the Center closed indefinitely to students in 2002.
