UAE Pavilion for EXPO 2020

The UAE Pavilion at the Dubai World Expo 2020 is designed by Santiago Calatrava. The structure, which will sit at the heart of the nearly 500-acre exhibition area and whose design is inspired by a falcon in flight, will be seen by the roughly 25 million visitors and participants who are expected to visit the Expo from October 2020 to April 2021. When completed, the Pavilion will be approximately 20,000 square meters and will include numerous exhibition areas, an auditorium, food and beverage outlets and VIP lounges. It is designed to meet LEED Platinum sustainable building standards as well as Sa'fat Building Rating. GRFN is the independent commissioning agent assigned to ensure that the building operates in line with the Owner’s Project Requirements and meets the functional requirements of the project in the most life cycle cost effective way.
