The story

Although the PSACEA officially opened its doors in 1930, the history of what became the current institution reaches back further. In 1921, a College of Engineering was formed on the site and run by the government. In 1930 the college moved to its current location and was reorganized in Dnipropetrovsk Institute of Civil Engineering. Finally, it was given its current name in 1994. The campus is believed to be the location of the Krestovozdvijensky cathedral site.
