A number of large education projects are active across the GCC.
New York University in Abu Dhabi Developer: Mubadala Estimated budget: Not disclosed
Description: New York University in Abu Dhabi is due to move to its permanent home on Saadiyat Island in 2014. Construction of the campus is expected to begin this year, with contract awards still pending. Rafael Vinoly Architects and Philip Habib & Associates are the consultants on the project.
The project grabbed headlines when New York University (NYU) insisted that all companies involved in the construction of the campus follow strict guidelines related to treatment of workers.
These include set working hours, that overtime is paid and voluntary and that workers are entitled to paid holidays. Employers must cover or reimburse any recruitment costs accrued by employees and companies are prohibited from withholding personal documents such as passports.
