A Delegation from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science Visited IKBFU to Discuss the Neo-campus «Kantiana»

On 10 December, a delegation from the Ministry of Education and Science, led by Airat Gatiyatov, Deputy Minister, visited Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University. The status and prospects of the key infrastructure projects in the university were discussed. The most important is the construction of the "Kantiana" neo-campus.

Alexander Fedorov, IKBFU rector:
I suppose this is a systemic and meaningful track for both Baltic Federal University and the whole region the next few years. This year we have completed the design and estimate work and received the conclusion of Glavgosexpertiza. A governmental decree was issued, and the facility has been assigned to the United Construction Contractor. The construction site building is coming to an end and the excavation work starts by the end of December. Such positive dynamics is possible thanks to the support and personal involvement of the leadership of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Minister of Higher Education and Science, and the Governor of the Kaliningrad Region.

In the summer, we will renovate the lobby of the main administrative building at IKBFU, refurbish the Maximum and Aquarium lecture halls. This creates a multifunctional space that will be integrated stylistically into the future campus. We are planning an overhaul of the University College building; we will continue our participation in the dormitory overhaul program; we also plan to repair a number of academic buildings and sports facilities.

The university is currently working on the construction of a second Student House. The area will be over 2,200 square meters.
