UFU to get campus in Shartash

Ural Federal University’s Supervisory Board has been considering the idea of setting up the university’s campus in Shartash, along Vysotskiy St. in Yekaterinburg.

According to the existing project, a ‘student forum’ is going to become the centerpiece of the place. It will be surrounded by eight buildings: a hotel, a library/information center, and a number of departments or research and education centers under the general names: Construction, New Materials & Materials Sciences, and Economics & Management.

The central set will be continued in a line of five-storey student dormitories (each meant for three hundred students), some sport facilities, and two parking lots.

The left-hand part of the campus is to become the ‘brain block’ and a home for the higher school of engineering, the school of business, a few science and education centers, a public center, the university hospital, two blocks of five-storey dormitories, a stadium, and a park.

As for the right-hand part of the campus, it will host the student dormitories, a techno-park, some science and education centers, a stadium, some parking lots, and a housing block for the university’s lecturers and researchers.
