The history of the Faculty of Architecture and Construction began on February 2, 1952, after the Ministry of Higher Education had ordered to found two more faculties at our Institute. So, the Faculty has been existing for more than 50 years.
At that time there were only two specialities: the Industrial and Housing Construction as well as the Planning and Development of towns. The first 78 engineers had graduated from the Faculty by 1957.
The number of students was growing and there were many difficulties with classrooms and lecture halls. Therefore, our teachers and students had designed and built the Laboratory Block and created better conditions for studies. By 1955 there had appeared one more speciality - the Water and Sanitation. By 1960 twenty-two students of this speciality had become engineers.
The Evening Department started in 1954. As you see, it has been existing for 50 years. Lots of students have graduated from this department and are working all over the country.
In 1970 there were six specialities. Three new professions were added to those three. There were as follows: 1) Production of Structural Elements; 2) Heating, Gas and Ventilation; 3) Economics of Construction.

There are much more specialities now. "The Industrial construction and Civil Engineering". is one of the most popular specialities. More than 2000 students are learning at the Faculty. There are so-called "day", "evening" and "extra-mural" (or correspondence) departments. Several professors, doctors of sciences, more than 90 assistant professors, candidates of sciences, more than 300 teachers and many post-graduates are working at nine specialized and three general engineering departments of the Faculty. These occupy the central part of the University Main Block, its two floors, as well as the Laboratory Block. In 2002 our Faculty celebrated its 50th anniversary. Since 1957 over 5000 engineers have graduated from the Faculty, and over 150 engineers have got degrees with honours.
