Zayed University is renowned for educating the leaders of the future and it is important for the university’s architecture and facilities to reflect this vision. We designed, fabricated and built the structure and fabric for the Zayed University Promenade for the male and female dormitories. This commission required the conical shade design for the roof, the steel support truss with paint system to prevent corrosion and all accessories for the shade including the steel cables, connecting rods and turnbuckles.
