Saadiyat Island
New York University moved the Abu Dhabi campus to a new site in 2014 in the Marina district of Saadiyat Island. It was designed by Rafael Viñoly, an Uruguayan architect, and built by Al-Futtaim Carillion. NYU eventually plans to have 2,000 students at the campus. The university plans to open a graduate school and to make the school a center for research.
