Inclusive Design for Schools, Colleges & Universities in the UAE

Creating campuses where every student feels welcome, safe, and able to thrive

From nurseries and primary schools to universities and technical colleges, inclusive education begins with inclusive environments. For many Students of Determination, traditional campuses create invisible barriers that limit learning, confidence, and participation.

At Empower Design Co., we help educational institutions across the UAE adapt their buildings, classrooms, and outdoor spaces to support accessibility, sensory regulation, and behavioral safety. We offer design consulting, accessibility audits, and training aligned with global SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) principles — tailored to local culture and Ministry of Education standards.

Whether you operate a private school in Dubai or a university campus in Abu Dhabi, we ensure your learning environment supports every student.

Why Inclusive School Design Matters in the UAE

Inclusive design is no longer optional. It’s expected.

What We Offer for Schools and Universities

Accessibility Audits

We evaluate your classrooms, corridors, libraries, bathrooms, entryways, playgrounds, and common areas to identify physical, sensory, and navigation-related barriers.

Design Consulting

For new builds or renovations, we work with architects and school boards to design learning environments that accommodate a broad spectrum of student needs — while still meeting educational goals.

Sensory & Behavioral Design

We help schools implement calming spaces, sensory rooms, and flexible classroom layouts that support students with autism, ADHD, trauma backgrounds, or emotional regulation needs.

Training for Educators and Staff

We deliver practical workshops to help school staff understand how built environments affect student behavior and performance — and how to support Students of Determination throughout the school day.
