Branch of another international university will be built in Kazakhstan. A ceremonial laying of the first stone of the Michigan State University branch took place in the capital. The facility will consist of a pedagogical building, an engineering block and a dormitory. In addition, the project provides for green recreation areas, lecture halls, amphitheater, alleys and a pier. The university will train skilled professionals of international level in education, construction and architecture.
