A community of cottages is growing in Veliky Novgorod for the scientific staff and teachers of Yaroslav the Wise Novgorod University. Construction is being carried out as part of the University City project: 20 houses, sports fields, recreation areas, a network of bicycle and walking paths and a scenic park with a pool will appear on an area of 14.7 dunams. Now the first six houses are ready: they are equipped with furniture and household appliances, connected to all the necessary communications. As noted in NovSU, housing construction is an element of the university's policy aimed at attracting scientific personnel. The second stage of the development is planned to be completed by the Education Day of the Novgorod region - by July 5, 2027. According to the government of the Novgorod region, the project is financed under an agreement between Acron PJSC and Novgorod University, signed in 2024. The total volume of private investment will be 400 million rubles. "It is important that on the one hand Akron will be the largest employer in the Novgorod region. And on the other hand, a reliable partner and friend of our region," stressed Governor Alexander Dronov. TopGun. Northwest News in Max.
