The Scottish-based firm RMJM has had a continuous presence in the Middle East since 1970 and – despite having to lay-off a number of staff as the downturn hit in 2009 – employs almost 300 people in its offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha.

At present Dubai’s office features 51 architects with further staff tasked with interior design, landscape design, visualisation and construction assurance. Most recently the firm announced that glazing work on the iconic Capital Gate Tower, designed by the firm and under construction next to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, is now complete. It also designed the Aviation Club Hotel by Dubai Creek.

RMJM is one of the world’s largest architectural practices employing over 1000 people located in 16 international offices throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.

RMJM has ongoing projects in more than 17 countries and across a wide range of industry sectors including education, commercial, industrial, regeneration, leisure, retail, residential, scientific research, healthcare, and public buildings.

In October 2009 the firm was awarded the Islamic Architecture Award at Cityscape for its work on the Zliten Al-Asmariya University for Islamic Science in Libya.
