The Project
The RAK Academy Khuzam refurbishment transformed an existing school into a modern, flexible learning environment while allowing the campus to remain fully operational throughout construction. Covering more than 226,000 sq. ft., the project included the refurbishment of the reception, café, library, classrooms, restrooms and circulation spaces, together with the renovation of the existing swimming pool and construction of a new pool. The design, developed from Marjan Design Lab’s concept, reconfigured underused areas to create open learning spaces that encourage collaboration and better support contemporary teaching methods.
