In a major investment in pursuit of educational excellence, a Dh313 million expansion has been sanctioned for the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Dubai campus at Dubai Silicon Oasis. The mega project will involve the addition of nine new academic and administrative buildings, boosting the university’s capacity to cater to its expanding student base and innovative programs.
The expansion is part of Dubai’s broader strategy to position itself as a regional hub for innovation and future-ready education. With facilities designed to support science, engineering, AI, and sustainability research, RIT Dubai will be better equipped to meet the needs of students preparing for careers in tomorrow’s knowledge economy.
The new complexes will feature state-of-the-art laboratories, lecture theatres, offices for faculty, and collaborative research facilities. The focus will also be on sustainability, with the buildings designed to include smart technologies and green building systems that will support the UAE’s long-term climate objectives.
This growth represents a turning point in Dubai’s education sector and solidifies the emirate’s pledge to supporting global talent. Upon completion, the new campus will take RIT Dubai’s ability to offer world-class education, research, and industry partnerships directly from the Dubai Silicon Oasis to the next level.
