Design Infinity has completed the fit-out for Zayed University’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre. The project spanning 30,000sqft is spread out across the first and mezzanine floor of Zayed University.
Pratap Mendonca, managing partner at Design Infinity, commented, “The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center was established in 2018 with a mandate to graduate student entrepreneurs as well as promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within Zayed University and we are happy to partner and support them with their plans for the young entrepreneurs of the region.”
Geetha Nayak, managing partner at Design Infinity, added, “While the design is done by HOK, Design Infinity was responsible for the complete turnkey fit-out, MEP & civil works for the Centre. This project is one of the most significant projects completed by us on time during the pandemic. We are very thankful to our Client for their constant support during the execution of this project. Without such teamwork, the project would not have been a success.”

Finland Pavilion completes its structural works for Expo 2020
Finland at Expo 2020 Dubai has confirmed 90 per cent of the construction of its pavilion, Snow Cape, has been completed. Following the announcement of the postponement of Expo 2020 Dubai, the structure has been prepared to withstand the extension period and the remaining construction activity, including the interior fit-out works, is scheduled to resume in April 2021.
Severi Keinälä, Commissioner General of Finland at Expo 2020 Dubai, said of the progress made so far: “Our decision to postpone the final construction elements of our pavilion was made to ensure the final aesthetic elements are as fresh as possible for the October 2021 opening. In particular, the exterior membrane of the pavilion will be added closer to the opening date, as this white surface is what will bring our Snow Cape to life. Once construction resumes next year, our touchless KONE elevators and sliding doors will be installed and preparations will begin on the exhibition space and interior design.”
Snow Cape is located within Expo 2020 Dubai’s Mobility District and the construction activities are being managed and executed by the Swiss pavilion construction specialist, Expomobilia.
The main theme of Finland’s participation in Expo 2020 Dubai is ‘Sharing Future Happiness’. Visitors will be taken on an interactive journey to discover the origin of Finnish happiness, nature and technological innovations through Finland’s key strengths, which include nature and sustainability, education and know-how, and functionality and wellbeing.
