The new IT University campus is located on an 8.3-hectare site in the southwest of Almaty, 20 km from the airport and 7 km from the city center. Adjacent to Al-Farabi Avenue, and near the Presidential Park, Miras School, and Apple Town Apartments, the site offers a harmonious environment where academia meets nature, with the majestic Tien Shan Mountains as a backdrop.
Based on the concept of a Möbius strip symbolizing the ""infinity loop,"" the design integrates classrooms, library, gymnasium, and cafeteria into a continuous, circular layout with a multi-core structure. The façade, reflecting the diagonal silhouette of the Tien Shan and adorned with mystic blue and white tones, emphasizes the identity of IT and research. The mixed-use complex maximizes spatial efficiency and creative interaction.
