Dubai Police Innovation Lab

Designed by: Ahmed Fouad Location: Al Qusais Dubai Police HQ

Construction finished: AUG 2019

Challenge
The Dubai Police HQ had envisioned to revamp the place which will house an innovation lab and where they can test new technologies, exhibition halls to showcase more recent innovations to the public, and modern conference rooms. However, they had a strict budget which made it very challenging at the later project phases. The project was awarded to U.M.I Dubai and i was the head of design and the project lead.

Solution
They have proposed to take advantage of the unused warehouse inside Dubai Police HQ for the official location of the Innovation Hub. I have decided to renovate the exisitng steel structures in the warehouse to create it more modern and sophisticated which was more cost-effective for the client. The whole layout is an open plan with minimum dividers to separate different sections. I also had installed a custom-shaped LED on the façade which will reflect the latest innovations and feature events happening inside.
