The CAU Expansion Project marks a significant leap in higher education and healthcare infrastructure in Central Asia. Spearheaded in collaboration with ARUP and Mizan, this $250 million masterplan transforms the university’s existing 10.3-hectare campus into a future-focused 45-hectare academic-medical ecosystem.
The project is anchored in a mission to attract global talent, reverse brain drain, and position Uzbekistan as a regional hub for innovation and excellence.
