Setting the foundations for science, technology and research in Abu Dhabi

KHALIFA UNIVERSITY EXTENSION

This 135,000 square-metre extension to the existing Khalifa University will serve as the campus building for the Khalifa University of Science, Technology and Research.

This educational institution aims to pursue international recognition as a world-class research university and plays a major role in Abu Dhabi’s journey towards a diverse knowledge-based economy.

The project includes demolishing the secondary school, enhancing an existing administration building, constructing parking and link bridges, and a building for degree programs in high-technology sectors, such as aerospace, biomedicine and healthcare, national security, telecommunications and information technology, nuclear energy, transport, and logistics.

RLB was appointed as part of RSP Architects’ design team to provide full cost consultancy services, including pre-contract cost planning and bills of quantities, and post-contract cost consultancy through the construction period.
