“Our goal is to improve working and studying conditions. I want to confirm that Saulėtekis remains our strategic goal, and we want to develop it not only with new construction, as you can see, but also by improving the entire environment,” said Rector Prof. Dr R. Petrauskas.
Dean Prof. Dr H. Šinkūnas thanked everyone who contributed to the renovation of the auditorium. “We are gathered here to express our gratitude for the result we have achieved,” said the Dean.
Architect Valerijus Starkovskis, who designed the auditorium, thanked Vilnius University for its trust and was delighted that the newly renovated space was filled with young people. The architect also created designs for the renovation of the first-floor premises.
The premises are equipped with modern video, audio, and filming equipment, so they are comfortable to use not only for lectures, but also for conferences and other events. We kindly invite you to take a look at the photos and see how the auditorium has been given a new look.
