New 1,100-Bed Student Dormitory
The project is one of the important infrastructure projects of Uzbekistan State University of World Languages aimed at expanding opportunities for providing students with modern living conditions.
The new student dormitory is being constructed under a public-private partnership. Construction of the nine-storey facility with a capacity of 1,100 students began on 18 March 2025.
The total project cost amounts to UZS 80.8 billion. Of this amount, UZS 45.8 billion is financed by the private project initiator, while UZS 35 billion is allocated from the state budget.
As part of the construction process, systematic work is being carried out to ensure that the facility complies with the approved design requirements, maintain the quality of construction and finishing works, install engineering and utility networks, and prepare the building for commissioning.
All Areas of Construction Reviewed
During the visit, the Minister, district mayor, and Rector toured the construction site together and inspected both the interior and exterior areas of the facility.
In particular, they reviewed the structural elements of the building, interior finishing works, engineering and utility networks, electricity supply, water supply and sewerage systems, lighting and ventilation systems, fire safety measures, and energy efficiency-related issues.
They also examined the ongoing landscaping works, the development of infrastructure around the building, and measures aimed at creating a safe and comfortable environment for students.
Rector Ilkhomjon Tuxtasinov provided information on the current stage of construction, the scope of completed works, upcoming tasks, and the measures being taken to prepare the new dormitory for commissioning.

Particular attention was also paid to the organization of study and self-learning areas, recreation spaces, household facilities, sanitary and hygienic conditions, as well as lighting and ventilation systems.
The new dormitory is designed to provide students with an environment that goes beyond accommodation, enabling them to conveniently organize their studies, independent learning, leisure time, and everyday needs.
