Construction readiness of the second stage of the campus on the basis of Novosibirsk State University (NGU) is more than 50%. This was reported by the head of the Directorate for the construction of unique objects of the Unified Customer PPC Natalia Zarubina at a press tour that took place on May 14, 2025.

The public-law company “Single Customer in the Sphere of Construction” acts as the state customer for the work and is responsible for the implementation of the facility.

— Unified Customer is implementing the second stage of the project. At the moment, the overall readiness of the facilities is 57%. The builders are working according to the established schedule and in 2026 we plan to put all three buildings with a total area of about 40 thousand square meters into operation. Almost three thousand students will have the opportunity to study in new modern buildings, — noted Natalia Zarubina, Head of the Directorate for the Construction of Unique Facilities of the Unified Customer PPC.

The construction of the campus opens up broad opportunities for the creation of innovative infrastructure that will promote the development of science, technology and education.

— The development of modern educational infrastructure, including the construction of world-class campuses, is an important area of work for the Russian Construction Complex. We are currently creating such a campus at Novosibirsk State University. The construction is being carried out by the “Single Customer in the Sphere of Construction”. Three academic buildings will be built here. The largest of them, the building for continuous classrooms, is already ready, and the delivery and installation of technological equipment is underway. The construction of two more buildings — the educational and scientific center of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies and the scientific research center — is ongoing. Here, the installation of facades and roofs, internal walls and partitions, external and internal utility networks, as well as finishing work are underway. I am confident that the creation of modern and comfortable conditions for learning will help students and researchers develop Russian science, — said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

The building of flow auditoriums was put into operation back in December 2024. Four auditoriums were equipped there, one of which is designed for 400 people, the building houses a scientific library, a student project center, coworking spaces, and a conference hall. In addition, for the convenient movement of students and teachers, an overhead passage with stained glass appeared there. It connects the building with the current educational building of NSU.

— The cohesive, well-organized work of all specialized structures headed by the regional government yields results: an educational building and a leisure center Specialized educational and scientific center of NSU, as well as the NSU dormitory complex were put into operation.

The building of flow auditoriums has been put into operation and is preparing to receive students. This is a high-tech multifunctional space. The objects that are located here can be called unique. A scientific library with elements of artificial intelligence and a collection of more than 1 million books. Four flow auditoriums, accommodating about a thousand people, and the auditorium for 400 people will be one of the largest among Novosibirsk universities. The locations in the building will be equipped with technologies of the NSU Artificial Intelligence Center according to the “smart home” principle.

Construction of two other second-stage campus facilities, the educational and scientific center of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies and the scientific research center of NSU, is continuing at a good pace.

The project, aimed at creating a scientific and educational environment integrated into the city, will give a completely new dynamic to the development of the university, Akademgorodok and the entire region, commented Deputy Governor of the Novosibirsk Region Irina Manuilova.

Modern campuses often include not only study spaces, but also recreation areas, coworking spaces, and libraries. According to the university’s rector, Mikhail Fedoruk, the new buildings will have everything necessary for student learning.

— The building of continuous auditoriums will significantly increase our educational capabilities: about 2 thousand students will be able to study here at the same time. The educational process will begin here in September 2025. The fact that the library will receive a modern building and space is also very important. The total area of the building of continuous auditoriums is about 16 thousand square meters. This is the largest building among the second stage of construction. The commissioning of new buildings will certainly give further impetus to the development of the university in both educational and scientific research, technological terms. Thus, on the basis of the research center, we will develop promising scientific and technological areas. Among them are space instrumentation, new functional materials, platform software solutions in the oil and gas sector, photonics and sensorics, biotechnology and biomedical research, synchrotron-neutron research, advanced areas of applied mathematics (artificial intelligence and big data processing), — emphasized the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk.

The campus is being implemented within the framework of the federal project “Creation of a network of modern campuses” and the national project “Youth and Children” on behalf of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin and the Government of the Russian Federation. Currently, three more world-class campuses are being built by the Unified Customer PPC in Yekaterinburg, Kaliningrad and Orel.
