A Dh1.5 billion construction package to build the UAE University's new campus in Al Ain was recently awarded to Oger Abu Dhabi by the Mubadala Development Company.

 

"The competition was very close, but Oger Abu Dhabi emerged as the best value proposal," said Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, CEO of Mubadala Development according to Gulf News. Oger bidded along with  Al Habtoor, CCC, ACC and Arabtech.

 

The new university campus will feature state-of-the-art teaching and recreational facilities, including accommodation for students and staff.

 

The project will be built over a period of four years at the Al Maqam site in Al Ain, with the first phase scheduled to be completed in mid-2008.
