We are working on an improved FEI STU
At the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (FEI) of STU we have started an extensive reconstruction of the premises. We are modernizing block B, namely 3rd to 7th floor and block C from basement to 8th floor. The new premises will make the daily functioning of the faculty more efficient and will meet the current demands for quality education.
In the initial phase, in cooperation with the general contractor Metrostav, we defined new layout solutions for offices, laboratories, kitchens and common areas. Currently Metrostav is finalizing the implementation project documentation. In parallel, demolition and dismantling works are underway and are approximately 70% complete.
Going according to plan
These days, technical documentation for key installations (heating, air-conditioning, low-current) is being prepared. By the end of May, the plan is to completely clear the premises, disconnect the utilities and prepare for the new installations (electricity, water, heating). Then the masonry work, installation of plasterboard partitions and plastering will take place. During the summer months, work will also start on the exterior of the swimming pool and gymnasium.
Completion of the entire renovation is scheduled for the winter semester of the academic year 2026/2027.
The reconstruction is funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan mechanism
within the STU-EUBA University Consortium project.
Total eligible expenditure: € 49 999 987,77
Duration: 01/2022 to 03/2026
What is the STU-EUBA Consortium of Universities?
The project aims to create joint innovative study programmes that link technical and economic disciplines. These programmes should better reflect the needs of the labour market and current development priorities of the Slovak Republic and the European Union.
Given the focus of STU and EUBA, the project aims to exploit strong synergies. Joint study programmes and the linking of research teams will focus on internationally priority and promising areas.
The investment and integration activities of the project will result in a modern infrastructure for education and implementation of R&D and innovation activities.
New study programmes
The project will create 6 joint study programmes (2 Bachelor and 4 Engineering) in the areas of:
- electronics and international business
- IT technologies with an emphasis on their use in finance
- energy, including nuclear energy, with a focus on management
- urban and spatial planning with an emphasis on sustainable management
In addition, the project also focuses on harmonisation of internal quality systems, guidance for students and teachers, sharing of common research and innovation capacities (staff and infrastructure), internationalisation and regional cooperation.
