Woods Bagot has been an established practice since 1869 where it was founded in Adelaide by former architect-in-chief for the South Australian Government, Edward John Woods. Since then the firm has grown into a significant multi-disciplinary practice operating across three sectors; education and science, lifestyle and workplace with teams operating across Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. It currently has 120 staff across its offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain.
