Zayed University, Abu Dhabi
Zayed University was established in 1999 as an educational institution for female UAE nationals. The new Abu Dhabi campus project, a public-private partnership between Mubadala and Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), reached financial closure in late 2009 and represents a significant addition to Abu Dhabi’s higher educational infrastructure.
The campus is under construction on a 75 hectare lot located in the new Capital District of Abu Dhabi, near Abu Dhabi International Airport, and about 30 minutes drive from the capital’s downtown area.
It is designed to accommodate 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students, together with faculty and support staff. Construction is scheduled for completion in Q3 2011.
