The Myriad Dubai is a fully-integrated, urban-styled student living community located in the heart of Dubai International Academic City in the UAE, where over 26,000 students study at 30 universities. Comprised of seven blocks with a capacity of housing 2250 residents, the project is spread over 68,000 square meters and located within walking distance of most universities in Dubai Academic City.
The Myriad Muscat is designed to offer accommodations exclusively for young women in the Sultanate of Oman. With a capacity of housing 2700 residents, the project is spread over 100,000 square meters and located near universities in Al Seeb, Muscat. Whether they are students or trainees, any resident of The Myriad Muscat is part of a safe and secure female community.

Challenges
The Myriad accommodations represent a world class student lifestyle and embody a fresh living experience based on in-depth research and analysis of today’s local and global students’ expectations. The young residents are likely to spend more time on the internet, be it research, homework, social media, streaming videos or gaming. Hence it was imperative for the company to select the advanced technology to match.
