The Central Telegraph in Moscow will become a university campus

A new campus of the Central University will open in the historic Central Telegraph building in Moscow. The site on Tverskaya Street was purchased from the development company Vos`hod, the press service of the educational institution reported.

The university will occupy the entire territory of the building with a total area of 68,424 m². Now the space is being modernized - the renovation works will be finished in 2027. After the completion of the reconstruction, more than 5 thousand students and teachers will be able to study and work in the new campus.

"The opening of Central University in the very center of Moscow is an important, responsible and at the same time extremely joyful event for us. We respect the building of the Central Telegraph and its almost hundred-year history, and soon we will open its doors for our students and teachers - for the best minds of the country," commented Evgeny Ivashkevich, Rector of the Central University.

The design of the space inside the new building is developed in the style of modern minimalism and is free from visual noise, while preserving the look of the historic building from the outside.

Central University was established on the initiative of T-Bank with the support of more than 50 of the country's largest companies to train highly qualified personnel in IT and business. Graduates receive state diplomas of higher education in the specialties of "Mathematics and Computer Science", "Business Informatics" in three areas: "Development", "Artificial Intelligence", "Business and Analytics".
