Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government
Overview:
Established in 2005 under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG) is the first research and teaching institution focused on governance and public policy in the Arab world. The goal was to create an innovative educational hub, with multipurpose spaces designed to accommodate smart technology, flexible learning areas, and promotes a sense of community, collaboration, critical thinking, and the exchange of ideas representing the strong MBRSG brand. The classrooms, as pivotal spaces for learning and collaboration, needed lighting solutions that would enhance focus, create comfort, and support the use of advanced technologies. Acoulite collaborated closely with the fit-out contractor, KPS. JLL supported the design process, while Acoulite supplied and implemented the lighting systems to meet the project’s requirements.
