President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed the progress of construction at the Al-Khwarizmi Campus.

The Head of state laid the foundation stone for this complex in August 2022. Since then, engineering infrastructure has been installed, and 72 apartment buildings comprising 1,773 units have been completed and put into operation. This year, an additional 28 buildings, designed to house 1,000 more apartments, are planned for construction. In total, the town will offer over 5,000 residential units.

The campus is being built on more than 130 hectares near Urgench International Airport. As such, this modern and well-equipped complex will be the first impression for visitors arriving by air. At the heart of the town, a majestic monument to the great scholar Al-Khwarizmi will be erected.

The President was presented with the concept design of the monument.

The monument will be installed at the entrance to a 20-hectare park being developed within the Al-Khwarizmi Campus. The statue will stand 22 meters tall, and over 30 meters including the pedestal.

The President instructed responsible officials to refine the monument’s design, both architecturally and conceptually, and expand the complex’s green spaces.

On the eve of the visit, the President signed a resolution on establishing Al-Khwarizmi University and its affiliated specialized school. The university will include three faculties: Mathematics and Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence. The academic process will be organized based on the model of the New Uzbekistan University and in cooperation with leading higher education institutions from the UAE, China, and the United Kingdom. Student admissions are scheduled to begin in the 2025-2026 academic year, with an anticipated enrollment of approximately 4,000 to 6,000 students.

The Al-Khwarizmi Campus will also host a branch of the Muhammad Al-Khwarizmi School from Tashkent. Admission will be based on a competitive selection of 4th-grade graduates. The final two years of study will focus on introductory engineering training.

In addition, the campus will include a technopark and office buildings, medical and cultural centers, alleys, schools, kindergartens, sports complexes, retail and service facilities.
