Dear colleagues, teachers and students!
Astana International University informs that the information about the collapse of ceilings in the academic building at 46/1 Auezov Street is not true. Yesterday, as a result of a strong hurricane wind, several decorative polystyrene foam panels fell. This happened with the windows open, which were opened by the students themselves, despite the warning not to leave the building and not to open the windows during the storm warning.
The university's maintenance service quickly eliminated the incident: the windows were closed and the panels were returned to their place. The university management suggested that the dean transfer students to a remote format to ensure their safety. However, since the incident was immediately resolved and the classroom was brought into proper condition, the dean decided to continue teaching in person.
As for ventilation issues, we note that the windows were temporarily secured solely to prevent the risk of repeated damage during a hurricane wind. These measures were taken for the safety of students and teachers. At the same time, other ventilation means provide the necessary level of ventilation.
Astana International University continues to monitor the safety of the educational process and regularly conducts inspections of the infrastructure. We thank students and teachers for their understanding and are ready to promptly respond to any requests related to the comfort and safety of the university.
