Abu Dhabi, UAE: The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), in collaboration with Khalifa University, today launched a major new public-private partnership (PPP) tender to deliver the accommodation and associated facilities for 3,250 students in the UAE capital. Abu Dhabi’s latest PPP tender will be delivered through the emirate’s proven and efficient PPP framework for expanding the role of the private sector in delivering public sector infrastructure and services.

Khalifa University is top ranked in the UAE and 181st Worldwide, according to the QS World University Rankings 2023. The PPP project is a key part of the research-intensive university’s ten-year strategic growth plan to enhance its built estate and provide a vibrant on-campus student living experience.

Dr. Ebrahim Al Hajri, Khalifa University’s Senior Vice President for Support Services, said: “We value this partnership with ADIO which will result in a major enhancement to the University’s offerings to its students. These projects will help bring students and researchers closer to our campuses, which would enhance student life and experience at KU. We look forward to seeing the results of this unique partnership.”
