KAUST Ceremony
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
May, 2009
As a bespoke commission, Atlantic designed and constructed the temporary structure for the Ground Breaking Ceremony for The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology. (KAUST). A challenging task, due to the high desert temperature and strong winds. As a result Atlantic developed a new heavier sheeting system to cope with the inclement weather conditions. The structure incorporated a fully functional auditorium, ceremony hall and dining area as well as housing special areas for each visiting head of state.
