Historical Moment: Accommodation of Students at the First Dormitory of the NeoCampus

By the end of December, more than 500 IKBFU first-year students will move in the campus dormitory, which is being built as part of the national project “Youth and Children”. At the beginning of the educational year, students did not have this opportunity because of the shortage of places in the university’s dormitory.

The dormitory has block type layout. In each block: two living rooms for two beds, common kitchen, shower, toilet. The rooms are fully furnished — beds, wardrobes for clothes, writing tables, shelves near each workplace, storage systems for things, shoe cabinet. In the kitchen, in addition to furniture, there are necessary appliances — large refrigerators, induction hobs and built-in extractors. Each block has a router for Wi-Fi connection and an IP phone for internal communication. Entrance to the dormitory is by face recognition system or with campus ID-cards. For students' convenience, there is a laundry service.

In the second half of 2026 there is a plan to launch a dining room with more than 300 seats and a fitness space with an area of more than 400 square meters, in the near future the dormitories will open coworking and recreation rooms. Around the dormitory there is a large green area with benches.
Rector of IKBFU Maxim Demin does not hide the hapiness that the dormitory was able to be put into operation many months before the completion of the entire campus.

This is a truly historic moment — with the completion of the second NeoCampus dormitory in the coming months, we will get rid of the shortage of space for a long time. This problem has been extremely acute until now in recent years. Only in 2025, almost 47% of the students enrolled in 1 year came to study at IKBFU from outside the Kaliningrad region. These are all regions of Russia and 12 countries of the world. The university has a big job ahead — the handover of the second dormitory and the entire campus which will be completed by September 2026, just in time for the 80th anniversary of the Kaliningrad region.
