Atkins was commissioned to provide full architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical services for Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) in Dubai.

The design for the school was based on the notion of a ‘journey’ through school life. This was transformed on plan into a figure of eight, with an amphitheatre at the intersection point, defining the heart of the school.

Where possible, the school has been designed with sustainability in mind with high levels of thermal insulation, externally shaded windows and energy efficient engineering solutions.
