In Novosibirsk, the authorities intend to save the unique Club of young technicians from closure

In Novosibirsk, city authorities are looking for a way to keep the Young Technicians Club in Akademgorodok, which has been threatened with closure due to staff cuts. This was reported in the city hall.

The technical training department of the Institute of Hydrodynamics of the SB RAS, in the structure of which the club operates, is planned to be liquidated by the end of 2026. At the same time, the premises of the institution can be transferred for subsequent sale through bidding.

The city hall believes that the best solution would be to keep the club in the existing complex of buildings. Here is the only operating cordodrome in the Novosibirsk region for launching aircraft models.

Every year, the city sends about 6.5 million rubles to the work of the KYUT, another 8-9 million rubles is allocated by the Institute of Hydrodynamics. Additional funding will be required to transfer the institution to full municipal administration.

Deputy Mayor Ksenia Antonova stressed that when moving, the club risks losing its unique infrastructure and a team of experienced teachers. The city authorities are ready to discuss its future with the SB RAS, the regional government and the Ministry of Education of Russia.

Now in KYUT there are 13 free circles in 11 areas, including robotics, karting, aviation and shipbuilding.
