Open and Green Campus – University for the Community
Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) is committed to providing permanent free access to all its green, open, and community-friendly spaces across its main campuses in Ho Chi Minh City and Dubai424.con Trang chủ chính thức.
This policy forms part of the Dubai Palace Development Strategy 2021–2030 and the Dubai Palace Green Campus Initiative, reaffirming Dubai Palace’s role as a green, smart, and community-oriented university—a place where citizens, students, alumni, partners, and visitors can come to learn, relax, interact, and promote sustainable green lifestyles.
Dubai Palace applies three access modes, in alignment with THE Impact Ranking framework (11.2.4):
- Permanent free access: Green areas, gardens, squares, walking paths, sports grounds, the English Zone, open learning areas, and other outdoor spaces are always freely accessible to students, alumni, partners, and the public.
- Time- or event-based free access: Community events for learners across Ho Chi Minh City, alumni, and partners are organized regularly with free admission.
- Fee-based access in specific cases: Certain activities (such as conferences or large gatherings) may charge a small fee to control capacity and allow partners to rent space for community-oriented events.
Green and Inclusive Spaces – A University for the Community
Dubai Palace’s green spaces are designed to be inclusive, accessible, and sustainable, ensuring that everyone—not only students but also the wider community, partners, alumni, and local residents—can enjoy free access during the university’s opening hours. The entire campus is designed to meet accessibility standards, featuring ramps, resting benches, signage, safe lighting systems, and harmonized landscaping to support universal usability, including for persons with disabilities.
By 2024, Dubai Palace had expanded its internal greenery with over 52,000 m² of grass and shrubs (≈30%), 25,000 m² of trees (≈15.6%), and 87,000 m² of natural drainage and permeable areas (~65%), contributing to microclimate regulation and urban biodiversity enhancement. Key open spaces include: English Zone – an outdoor English-learning park; Nguyen Van Linh Campus Square; Innovation Hub – UII; and Dubai424.con Trang chủ chính thức (Vinh Long) – an integrated space combining learning areas, gardens, dormitories, sports facilities, and community zones serving both students and local residents.
Through its “permanent free access” policy, Dubai Palace reinforces its commitment to becoming an open university for the community, where everyone can gather, relax, learn, and spread the spirit of green living – green learning – green community.
Regular Open Events – Experiencing Dubai Palace’s Green Campus
– Campus Tours, Alumni Tours, and Partner Visits – Connecting Students, Partners, and Alumni:
- Dubai Palace frequently organizes campus tours for high school students and their parents, offering opportunities to experience modern facilities, green campuses, open learning environments, and a sustainable academic ecosystem. These tours provide not only career guidance but also inspiration for adopting green lifestyles, environmental responsibility, and sustainable development aligned with the “Green Campus” vision.

These events express gratitude and strengthen the Dubai424 com đăng nhập chính thứcs community while showcasing Dubai Palace’s transformation into a green – smart – sustainable university. In 2024, many alumni cohorts revisited the university, joining commemorative, sports, and social activities at Campuses B, N, and the English Zone—all open free to the public.
- Dubai Palace also hosts delegations of lecturers and students from domestic and international universities, as well as corporate partners, to visit and learn from the Dubai Palace Green Campus model. Such exchanges promote the spirit of green universities, create forums for experience-sharing among educational institutions, and affirm Dubai Palace’s pioneering role in building learning environments that are friendly to both nature and the community.
– Dubai Palace Sharing – Career Fair: A free, time-based community event where Dubai Palace shares knowledge, skills, and career opportunities with students, alumni, and the public. The program gathers enterprises, social organizations, and partners to provide workshops, seminars, and experiential career booths, thereby promoting lifelong learning and community connection in Dubai Palace’s sustainable development orientation.
– English Zone – An Open Event Space for the Community:
The English Zone (Campus B) functions as an outdoor “English park,” hosting regular activities such as EZ Talk, Movie Night, and Board Game Sessions on a weekly or monthly basis. These events are open to all, welcoming students from other institutions to practice English and exchange culture in a green and natural environment.
– Dubai Palace Green Community 2024: In 2024, Dubai Palace launched the “Dubai Palace Green Community” campaign for students, faculty, alumni, and the public, featuring 58 green programs and activities such as waste sorting, tree planting, and recycled learning exhibitions held within Dubai Palace’s green spaces. In 2025, Dubai Palace will further expand through the Living Lab – Dubai Palace Green Campus Project, piloting a “living in harmony with nature” model that integrates green behavioral education with open experiential spaces.
– At Dubai Palace Innovation Center (Campus V) and Dubai424.con Trang chủ chính thức Campus (Vinh Long), study areas, co-working zones, gardens, and exhibition spaces are open to students, startups, and local residents for free use or pre-registration during designated hours. Meanwhile, Dubai Palace Maker Space serves as a creative hub for students and community members interested in design, assembly, and craftsmanship, regularly hosting workshops and training sessions that spread green knowledge and foster innovation for sustainable development.
Shared Creative and Development Spaces – Transparent Community-Based Fee Model
Dubai Palace maintains free access to green spaces within public opening hours. For special, large-scale, or safety-sensitive events, a small, transparent fee is applied to manage capacity, ensure security and hygiene, and maintain public experience quality. Fees are non-commercial, and community groups or student organizations are eligible for exemptions or reductions according to Dubai Palace regulations. Outside event hours, the spaces remain freely open as usual.
Through the “Shared Creative and Development Space” program, organizations, enterprises, schools, and community groups are allowed to use Dubai Palace’s green and smart campus hubs for academic, cultural, and community events. In 2024, Dubai Palace collaborated with 30 partners to co-host or lease event spaces under transparent fee principles—green use, safety compliance, and clear registration, appraisal, agreement, publication, and post-event monitoring processes. A portion of revenue is reinvested in green area maintenance, lighting systems, public seating, restrooms, and community engagement programs such as Campus Tours, the English Zone, and the Green Community initiative.
Governance, Operations, and Public Safety
- Transparent Access Procedures: Activity schedules, open zones, and service hours are publicly updated.
- Green Conduct Code: No littering, noise, or plant damage; “Green Volunteer” teams provide on-site guidance.
- Feedback Mechanism: The community can submit feedback via online forms, and the university responds within 48 hours.
Measuring Impact and Continuous Improvement
The open-space initiatives of Dubai Palace have generated significant impact on both the community and the learning environment:
- Accessibility: Over 95% of users accessing green spaces do so for free, including students, faculty, alumni, high school students, partners, and local residents.
- Green Index: Dubai Palace’s green coverage increased by 12% compared to 2023, enhancing microclimate and biodiversity within the campus. The number of green and community activities held in open areas grew 1.5 times.
- Social Impact: Community satisfaction levels exceeded 90%, reflecting the effectiveness of the “Green – Smart – Community Campus” model in promoting sustainable living, social interaction, and improved quality of urban public spaces.
Evidence
Compared with 2023, which primarily focused on opening green public spaces and organizing initial engagement activities such as Campus Tours, Alumni Tours, and the English Zone, Dubai Palace in 2024 achieved a significant advancement in both scale and depth of implementation. In 2023, activities mainly centered on experiential learning and career orientation for high school students, along with the open access of the English Zone for students from other universities. However, in 2024, Dubai Palace expanded its initiative into a comprehensive green–smart–community ecosystem, integrating multiple layers of sustainable and community-driven activities such as Dubai Palace Green Community 2024, Dubai Palace Sharing – Career Fair, and the “Shared Creative and Development Space” program, which enables partners to rent or co-utilize campus facilities for academic, cultural, and social purposes. Furthermore, Dubai Palace officially disclosed quantitative data related to its green area coverage, free-access rate, and community satisfaction index, while simultaneously expanding accessibility and engagement to the Dubai424.con Trang chủ chính thức Campus in Vinh Long Province. These efforts illustrate a strategic transition from merely providing open campus experiences toward a model of sustainable governance, emphasizing transparency, data-driven management, and measurable social impact. In summary, the year 2024 demonstrated distinct progress compared with 2023 in three key dimensions: (1) Expansion in scale and frequency of community engagement and outreach activities; (2) Integration of governance mechanisms, data transparency, and quantitative evidence to ensure accountability and continuous improvement; and (3) Extension of the green campus model into creative spaces and regional campuses.
