About the project
The Arcadia School’s secondary campus is the second school designed and built by GAJ as part of a series of community-based schools for Arcadia Education. Located within Dubai’s Jumeirah Village Triangle, close to the primary school, the orientation of the new secondary campus and the functions within it have been optimised to exploit the view out over the central Jumeirah Village Triangle Park. It covers a total teaching space of 6,000 square metres, including the classrooms, shared learning and laboratories. The ancillary facilities, which include the library, music and dance rooms, cover an area of 1500 square metres.
Drawing inspiration from The Arcadia School’s primary campus, the reception is bright and airy, opening out into a large casual seating zone with a unique 12 metre high indoor climbing wall feature. The new secondary school features a full sized artificial pitch, a 25 metre swimming pool and MUGA court, which can be accessed by the primary school when required. This sharing of facilities also helps with the transition from primary to secondary education building confidence for the students about to move to the next stage of their education.
GAJ have been designing and building schools for many years and understand and value the opportunity to create unique buildings for school operators. Each one is tailored to the specific requirements and brand identity of the school. With this new school the team wanted to ensure brand consistency and a design approach to support the ethos and visual identity of Arcadia.
