PROJECT STATUS
Completed
The new Sports & Performing Arts Centre (SPACE) is by far the most ambitious project of the planned upgrade of the school to date. Located on a condensed part of the site at the back of the campus required the demolition of the existing swimming pool and sports hall to free up valuable land for the new development. The result is an unrivalled facility with swimming pool, gym with separate cardio and strength training areas, basketball and netball courts, dance and fitness studios and a health food café for the students. It also includes a black box drama performance space with seating for 140, drama classrooms, music classrooms as well as music practice areas.

The golf clubhouse was designed to reflect a modern interpretation of a traditional dhow in full sail capturing the essence of Dubai's seafaring traditions and the majesty and simplicity of the lateen-rigged dhows as they sailed up and down the coastline of Dubai.
