New York University Abu Dhabi  KBA was engaged by NYU in 2007 to assist the University to plan a new, full-scale liberal arts college in the United Arab Emirates, which is being undertaken as a joint venture with the government of Abu Dhabi. Serving as staff extension to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Regional Campus Development, KBA assisted NYU and its partner to select and manage the planning team, including an academic planner and architectural/urban design team. KBA also helped manage a series of faculty workshops that resulted in a high-level space program that reflected NYU’s vision for curriculum, student life, and how NYU Abu Dhabi would be connected to NYU’s Washington Square campus and numerous study abroad sites. KBA’s work culminated with NYU’s selection of Rafael Vinoly Architects as master planner in summer 2008. KBA was hired back to help NYU prepare a “project brief” for the new campus. KBA researched building code standards in the Gulf region and worked with NYU staff to formulate NYU’s requirements in the areas of construction, life safety, security, and environmental sustainability.Other New York University Projects
