The Technopolis Polytech project is being implemented at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Construction of the first phase of the facility—an educational and laboratory building and a dormitory—is scheduled to begin soon.
The project implementation plan was selected by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The educational and laboratory building will be constructed using federal budget funds, and the dormitory building will be built as part of an investment project by LSR Group, a leading St. Petersburg construction company.
The dormitory will accommodate 1,500 people. The educational and laboratory building will occupy 52,000 square meters, twice the area of the existing research building. The buildings are planned to be located along Gidrotekhnikov Street.
At the same time, LSR Group will build a new residential complex between Gzhatskaya Street and Grazhdansky Prospekt. The Russian Ministry of Education and Science, SPbPU management, and the developer have agreed that some apartments in this residential complex will be sold to Polytechnic University employees on preferential terms.
The project's implementation required a number of regulatory and legislative changes. With the support of Governor Alexander Beglov and Vice Governor Nikolai Linchenko, as well as the St. Petersburg Committee for Urban Development and Architecture, the building's purpose and permitted height were amended. This will allow for more open-plan space during construction.
The work schedule has already been agreed upon at all levels. Work is underway with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education on a Russian Government resolution, which is expected to be completed this year. Then, design work on the complex will begin in accordance with the President's directive, and construction of the dormitory will be completed within 2.5 to 3 years.
The university's leadership is also working to organize the parallel construction of the academic and laboratory building and the dormitory. This would reduce the cost of site design and reduce the timeframe.
Furthermore, a high school focused on engineering education is planned for construction near the Polytechnic University. The St. Petersburg government supports the idea of close cooperation between the school and the Polytechnic University, ensuring that its graduates primarily continue their education at our university.
