On March 18, the grand opening of the branded space of the Setl Group holding and the ISI directorate took place at the Civil Engineering Institute of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.
The event was attended by SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, Setl Group Board Member Ilya Eremenko, Setl City (Setl Group) Executive Director Igor Vlashchenko, and SPbPU Institute of Civil Engineering Director Marina Petrochenko.
The event was opened by SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, who congratulated the students and staff of the institute on the creation of a modern space for study and communication.
For the university's leadership, events aimed at developing infrastructure and improving the quality of the educational environment for students are of great importance. Initiatives implemented with the participation of industrial partners and SPbPU alumni, who continue to support their university and contribute to its development, are particularly significant. Such interaction strengthens intergenerational ties and promotes the training of highly qualified specialists, noted Andrey Rudskoy.
Igor Vlaschenko, Executive Director of Setl City (Setl Group), and Ilya Eremenko, a member of the Setl Group Board of Directors, also delivered welcoming remarks. They noted the high level of training of Polytechnic students and expressed interest in a long-term partnership with the university.
The ceremony culminated in a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, led by Andrey Rudskoy, Igor Vlaschenko, Ilya Eremenko, and Marina Petrochenko. Afterward, the guests were introduced to the new area's functionality. This branded space is equipped for students to comfortably work and relax.
Students from the Civil Engineering Institute expressed their gratitude to the organizers: "We are very pleased and grateful for the new opportunities offered by the institute's updated infrastructure. The comfortable environment allows us to focus on our studies and professional development."
Students presented representatives of the Setl Group holding with commemorative sweatshirts from the Civil Engineering Institute.
The opening of this space is a logical continuation of the active educational collaboration between the SPbPU Institute of Civil Engineering and the Setl Group holding company. Previously, the institute launched joint educational intensives for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students majoring in Construction.
Throughout the semester, the holding's experts, together with ISI faculty, teach classes on "Project Management Fundamentals" and "Organization of Planning and Management in Construction." Students explore the key stages of construction project implementation and master the specialized SetlSoft ICONA software suite, used by Setl Group for project management. The first cohort of the intensive educational program concluded on March 18, 2026. Participants who successfully completed the program received certificates of completion. For the second cohort, the final stage of training will be a business simulation, in which students will work in teams to solve practical problems simulating real-life engineering work.
The event also included the opening of the Institute of Civil Engineering's administration office. The modernized space has become a focal point for students, providing convenient access to administrative services and fostering an atmosphere of openness between the institute's leadership and students.
