Veronika Asaul, Head of the Department of Construction Economics and Housing and Utilities (EC&HU) at SPbGASU, Professor, and Doctor of Economics, and Isa Magerramov, Assistant Professor, represented SPbGASU at the Open Day of the Educational and Methodological Center (EMC) of the Housing Committee of St. Petersburg – a celebratory event dedicated to the institution's 85th anniversary.
The event was attended by Yevgeny Razumishkin, Vice Governor of St. Petersburg for Urban Development, Housing Policy, and Improvement; Denis Udod, Chairman of the St. Petersburg Housing Committee; Valeria Kostyukovskaya, Deputy Chair of the Housing Committee; Marina Gorokhova, Acting Deputy Chair of the Committee; and Sergei Petrov, Director of the Educational and Methodological Center of the Housing Committee.
In his congratulatory speech, Evgeny Razumishkin thanked the center's staff and management for their professionalism, dedication, and significant contribution to the development of the industry. He wished them new achievements, successful projects, and the continued strengthening of the center's authority in the vocational education system of the Northern Capital.
Housing Committee Chairman Denis Udod emphasized the importance of continuing professional education (CPE) in the development of the housing and utilities sector. He noted that CPE is becoming a tool that enables specialists to quickly adapt to the changing realities of the sector. He placed particular emphasis on the establishment of a Competence Center for Housing and Utilities, which is intended to become a key platform for exchanging best practices, developing uniform standards for training specialists, and coordinating interactions between educational institutions and companies in the sector. He stated that the creation of such a center is a significant step toward the systematic development of human resources in the housing and utilities sector, enabling the formation of a professional community prepared to effectively respond to modern challenges.
In her speech, Veronika Asaul noted that the 85th anniversary of the Educational and Methodological Center is not just a date, but an entire era in the development of the city's housing and utilities sector. Importantly, the center not only preserves its accumulated experience but also actively implements modern approaches, ensuring the continuity of generations of specialists.
For the interactive portion of the open day program, SPbGASU representatives developed and conducted an intellectual quiz covering key stages of the transformation of housing and utilities from Ancient Rus' to the present day. The quiz highlighted the continuity of traditions in the industry, promoted knowledge about housing and utilities among participants, and strengthened educational ties between SPbGASU and city structures.
The Training and Methodology Center, founded in December 1940, remains the city's key training venue for housing and utilities specialists. The invitation to the event highlights the close collaboration between SPbGASU and city services.
