CannonDesign has designed the multi-disciplinary “Fusion Campus” at Amity University Dubai located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

A benchmark for the institution’s future global expansion, Amity Dubai’s flagship “fusion campus” promotes collaboration, creativity, research, and innovation. With schools for business, engineering, hospitality and applied sciences at the core, shared common spaces create a distinctive sense of place that animates and shapes the campus community – facilitating the cross disciplinary dialogues that form the framework of Amity Dubai’s distinctive approach to learning. The iconic design is responsive to local culture, context, and ecology, and provides an environment for students to take their place in the increasingly competitive international marketplace as 21st century global citizens.

While new ways of digital learning and online engagement are bringing on a revolution in education, research confirms that human interaction is irreplaceable. In today’s knowledge economy, physical environments matter more than ever in attracting talent and industry. With its diverse academic community, Amity Dubai provides a true sense of place – an authentic campus that fosters an enriched learning experience through technology and social interaction.
