Azerbaijan Architecture and Construction University

Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction is a state university located in Baku, Azerbaijan, specializing in civil engineering and architecture.

Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction (AUAC) boasts a remarkable history intertwined with the evolution of Baku's architectural landscape. Its story begins in 1920, not as a university, but as a humble faculty within the Baku Polytechnic Institute. Back then, it focused solely on the nascent field of construction, laying the groundwork for the city's future development.

The 1930s saw AUAC briefly emerge as an independent institute, before being integrated into larger institutions like the Azerbaijan Industrial Institute and the Azerbaijan Technical University. During this period, its scope broadened to encompass architecture, reflecting the growing importance of aesthetics alongside functionality in shaping Baku's built environment.

Finally, in 1992, AUAC achieved its independent status, blossoming into a full-fledged university. This was a pivotal moment, symbolizing the growing importance of architectural and engineering education in the newly independent Azerbaijan. The year 2000 marked another milestone, with the university officially taking on its current name, solidifying its identity as a premier center for architectural and construction expertise.

From its humble beginnings as a construction faculty to its current standing as a respected university, AUAC's history mirrors the transformation of Baku itself. The institution has not only trained generations of architects and engineers, but also actively shaped the city's modern skyline, leaving an indelible mark on Azerbaijan's architectural landscape.
