Conceived and developed by Al Zarroni Emirates Investments, Citizens School Dubai, has finally been handed over after approximately three years of construction. The groundbreaking event for the project was done in July 2019.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project faced a spectrum of obstacles. These obstacles caused the project to slow down construction in July 2020 and later on resumed in September 2021.
The school was designed by Godwin Austen Johnson (GAJ), the largest and longest-established UK architectural and design practice. The main contractor of the project was Intermass, the flagship company and one of the most prominent construction companies in the UAE.
