The Department of Building Structures is the leading one in the university, whose specialists have a special certification for carrying out works on assessing the technical condition of buildings and structures, development of design documents for reinforcing building constructions, as well as designing buildings and structures.

Unlike specialized design organizations, the Department of Building Structures not only carries out the design of unique objects, but also produces their practical tests, as well as monitoring of the constructed facilities throughout a long service life.

As at 2017, the number of academic staff is 22 people, part-time employees - 4 people, out of them external part-time employees - 1 person. Of the number of academic staff 2 people have a degree of Doctor of Technical Science, 14 - a degree of Doctor of technical sciences, Associate Professor - 15.
