History

During the height of the World War II in the Soviet Union, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR on 19 June 1943 decided to establish the Technological Institute of Building Materials in accordance with Resolution No. 679B. On June 29 of the same year, the All-Union Committee for Higher Education under the USSR People's Commissariat and the USSR Commissioner for Building Materials issued an order "On the organization of the Technological Institute of Building Materials in Chimkent, Kazakh SSR."

The building of the pedagogical school on Sovetskaya Street (now Kazybek Bi) was transferred to the university. Konstantin Delyaur from Kharkiv was appointed the head of the newly opened school. He is considered to have made a great contribution to the opening of the institute, bringing to the highest authorities the need for urgent training of qualified specialists needed in the construction industry.
