Big change for VSB-TUO: Future economists will start studying on campus in September

VSB – The Technical University of Ostrava today festively presented the new building of the Faculty of Economics, which was built on the campus of the University of Ostrava-Poruba.

On Monday, 16. 9. 2024, classes will begin here in the winter semester. The building has been under construction for twenty-five months and there is a fundamental change in its functioning for the university campus.

“Since the move of the Faculty of Economics to the campus, we are hoping for a greater connection with the other parts of the university. Many of our study programmes and projects span technical-economic areas and we hope that moving closer cooperation will help even more. For students and employees, all the advantages of campus placement will now be available, be it sports facilities or catering and accommodation,” Rector Václav Snášel evaluates the whole change.

The building was built behind the existing H-building and has one underground and four above-ground floors.
