The history of the Institute

In the sixties of the last century, not only in Uzbekistan, but in all Republics of Central Asia, there was an urgent need for highly qualified specialists in the field of architecture and construction. Thus, the foundation to establish architectural and construction Institute in Uzbekistan was laid out.
In 1965-1966, the work to create a separate Construction university has been done in Tashkent by combining the faculties of architecture, industrial and civil construction, as well as the Faculty of agricultural construction of the Tashkent Polytechnical Institute. However, the crushing Tashkent earthquake of 1966 accelerated the ongoing work on the organization of a new higher educational institution of a construction profile. Taking into account the current situation, the government of the Republic decided to establish an institute in the city of Samarkand. 
Thus, the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Republic No. 367 of July 15, 1966 and Order No. 307 of the Ministry of Higher Education of July 15, 1966, the Samarkand State Architectural and Civil-Engineering Institute was established. The foundation of the establishment of this institution in Samarkand was, firstly, the complicated social and economic situation in Tashkent connected with earthquake, and secondly, the image of Samarkand, as the most ancient city of Central Asia with almost 3000 years of history, highly developed cultural traditions, and in the third, as a historically developed scientific and cultural centre. 
Considering the attitude of the Uzbek people to the majestic images of scientists and educators, the developed and educated sons of the past, and as well as to perpetuate the memory of our great ancestors, by the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 198 of May 3, 1967, the Samarkand State Architectural and Civil-Engineering Institute was given the name of the great scholar, thinker and astronomer Mirzo Ulugbek.
