The Zayed National Museum stands as a tribute to the life and legacy of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, reflecting his vision, leadership, and deep connection to the history and culture of the United Arab Emirates. Designed to be the country’s premier national museum.

As part of the project team, I am responsible for the management and coordination of critical technical packages, ensuring the successful integration of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing), AV hardware, showcases, and fit-out within two key galleries.

MEP Systems Integration

The MEP scope is a critical component of the museum’s infrastructure, involving high-spec climate control, ventilation, and electrical systems tailored to the preservation needs of historical artifacts and sensitive AV hardware.

AV Hardware & Data Center Management

• Overseeing server rooms and networked AV infrastructure, ensuring seamless content delivery to high-resolution displays, large-format projectors, and interactive exhibits.
• Coordinating the installation and commissioning of AV control systems, including show control, synchronization, and automation for timed experiences.
• Managing acoustic treatments and spatial audio systems, ensuring clear, immersive soundscapes that enhance storytelling.

Showcase Engineering & Exhibit Integration

The showcases within the museum must meet stringent conservation standards while providing unobstructed visibility and interactivity. My responsibilities include:

• Ensuring custom-designed showcases meet museum-grade specifications, including temperature and humidity stabilization, integrated lighting, and security features.
• Overseeing mechanized display cases for rotating or interactive exhibits, requiring precision engineering and seamless automation.
• Coordinating with conservation specialists to implement low-reflectivity glass, non-intrusive lighting, and air-tight sealing for sensitive artifacts.

Fit-Out & Gallery Coordination

Managing the fit-out for the two galleries involves balancing aesthetic design with technical functionality. My work includes:

• Ensuring material selection and fabrication aligns with both museum standards and the architectural vision.
• Overseeing the installation of exhibition structures, including large-scale scenic elements and thematic environments.

Coordinating with specialists for interactive media installations, projection mapping, and digital interfaces that enhance visitor engagement.

Through my role, I ensure that the technical execution aligns with the museum’s vision, delivering a seamless integration of technology, infrastructure, and design to create an unparalleled cultural and educational experience.
