Wates has been appointed to build a new secondary school in Abu Dhabi.

The school for Aldar Academies in Al Bateen is part of a joint venture by Wates Construction International and Al Fara's General Contracting.

The new school will be managed and operated by Aldar Academies, respected as one of the leading education providers in Abu Dhabi. Aldar Academies currently operates three schools in the city – Al Yasmina School, Pearl Primary School and Al Muna Primary School.

Measuring 24,000 square metres, the new school will feature state-of-the-art classrooms, a swimming pool, library and extensive outdoor sports facilities.

"We selected Wates and Al Fara'a due to Wates' pedigree and proven record in the educational sector, combined with the local knowledge of Al Fara's," said Sami Asad, Aldar COO.

"We welcome them on board as part of our team to help deliver a project which is expected to sustain the highest standards of secondary education in the UAE and contribute to furthering the reputation of Aldar Academies."
