The University aims to modernise its facilities and provide researchers and students with most advanced equipment, essential to reach world-class level in science and education. SUSU has built powerful, up-to-date facilities that include over 10 world-class research and educational centers and laboratories equipped with unique research equipment. SUSU produces 80% of all educational laboratory equipment made in Russia and boasts the country's most complete and advanced educational laboratory complex.

Interferential testing
infrastructure
|
Unique infrastructure for Russia. Lab’s groundwork is not
connected with the groundwork of the building and
surrounding area, which enables to use of interferential
methods for creating photonic structures and light fields with
complex distribution of parameters.

To increase the attractiveness of SUSU as a global research and educational center, the University will undertake the following efforts:
- Building a 3,000-bed dormitory (the site has been allocated and the building plans drawn up)
- Accommodating 20 research laboratories and technology clusters with premises of at least 40,000 sq. m by 2020
- Constructing an Innovation Center
- Developing a barrier-free environment across University
- Improving utilities and enhancing the quality of property management mechanisms based on specific return from their use
The SUSU supercomputer ranks 349th in the TOP500 rating of the world's most powerful supercomputer systems. SUSU plans to make further investments worth more than RUB 1 billion in its supercomputer with the goal of breaking into the rating's top 100 supercomputers by 2020. Plans call for further upgrading the supercomputer's capacity in partnership with high-tech industrial companies. Estimated investment for this project totals RUB 250 million per year. Among SUSU's potential partners are Makeyev GRTs, Uralvagonzavod, KAMAZ, the Institute of Research and Development in Mechanical Engineering, RSC Technologies, and others. The University will raise the necessary funds either through direct investment or through the establishment of a target endowment fund for the supercomputer. If the University continues to develop its supercomputer further solely using its own funds, the results will not be so outstanding. It will only be sufficient to maintain the SUSU supercomputer in TOP500 ranking.
