Building schools of the future - 42 Abu Dhabi
No classes. No teachers. No tuition fees. An innovative and disruptive coding school built on the philosophy that everyone deserves the opportunity to explore their talent.
Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge, ADEK's purpose-built 42 Abu Dhabi campus will open it's doors in February 2021 in the heart of the UAE capital’s historic Mina Zayed warehouses district and will offer a revolutionary approach to divergent and gamified learning. It will be the first GCC campus of the internationally renowned 42 Network of coding and computer programming schools. In only seven years, the expanding 42 Network of schools has grown to over 20 globally. 42 Abu Dhabi will accommodate up to 750 students once fully operational.
Another bilateral milestone in the UAE-France Strategic Dialogue
42 Abu Dhabi follows both countries recently reaffirming their long-term commitment to enhance innovative exchange in sectors including culture, education, advanced sciences, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, medtech and agritech. The school will follow the tuition-free model of coding and programming education pioneered by French billionaire Xavier Niel, who founded the Network’s inaugural campus in Paris, École 42, in 2013. We are very proud to have been associated with this development.
Coding needs super focussed spaces and great acoustics is key
Gyproc's renowned and unique acoustic solutions with performances upto 72db are in place to ensure the next-generation can code with clarity. GypWall QUIET and GypWall QUIET SF coupled with Gyproc SoundBloc boards gets the job done here.
Safe and comfortable environments
Along with the above acoustic solutions, Prosperity Paint Works under Al Tayer Stocks used other high performing Gyproc solutions all around to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for learning and collaboration.
