Moscow State University

Moscow State University named after Mikhail Lomonosov, 260 after its foundation, is one of the most iconic buildings of Moscow and Russia. Nowadays the Moscow State University is experiencing a new stage in its development, growing and expanding its territory. It started with the construction of the Intellectual Center, the Lomonosov and Shuvalov academic buildings of the Moscow State University. But today we are not talking about single, even unique buildings, but about a large-scale development of a giant territory. The idea of creating a science and technology valley on a site, which has been reserved for a long time for the development of the main university of the country, was preceded by a large research work The site is located on one of the important urban axis of the city Kremlin - Moscow State University. At present, the axis ends with the Intellectual Center of Moscow State University. The development concept provides for its extension to the Park of the 50th Anniversary of October. The campus and residential quarters frame the axis, leaving it free to accommodate a number of comfortable public spaces. Construction of the Intellectual Center of the Moscow State University, the Shuvalov and Lomonosov academic buildings, the Medical Faculty of the Moscow State University laid the foundations of the development of a new territory. However, there is still a number of issues: • A significant part is occupied by illegal garage and warehouse facilities, creating an unfavorable sanitary and crime situation • There are illegal landfills creating an unfavorable sanitary situation; • Lack of green spaces within pedestrian areas, lack of recreation areas and infrastructure facilities; • Lack of transportation connectivity. The Project is aimed at: • Creating a new local city center with a unique anchor facility - a science and technology valley of the Moscow State University; • Developing the historical urban axis, creating layout and visual connections with surrounding areas; • Creation of a well-developed network of landscaped areas connecting the Park of 50th Anniversary of October with the Vorobyovy Gory Natural Reserve and the Moskva River embankments • Providing pedestrian and transportation connectivity. The new campus of the Moscow State University named after Lomonosov will become the all-Russian center of research and education. The campus will be maximally integrated into urban fabric, harmoniously combining buildings and public spaces, it will provide convenience and comfort not only for scientific research and training, but for everyday life. The project implementation is in line with the city's overall development strategy aimed at economic growth, improvement of transport links and creation of new public spaces.
