TSUAB provides fundamental and applied training of students within bachelor, master and specialist programs in architecture and civil engineering.

During Revolution and Civil War the school turned from specialized educational establishment into higher education institution: at Kolchak time it was occupied by Academy of General Staff of Russian Army evacuated from Moscow, further at Soviet times it turned into First Siberian Applied Polytechnic Institute.

One of them, Tomsk Milling-Elevator Technical School (training specialists-technicians and site engineers for construction of elevators in Siberia), was located in buildings on Solyanaya Square.

However, next year in 1931 governmental decree was issued to reorganize technical school into Tomsk Milling-Elevator Institute.

In 1960-1980s TSUAB trained students within 5 faculties (civil engineering, road construction, machinery, technology and architecture).

• Institutional club; • The union of literature fans "Yarus"; • Society of volunteers "Vykhod".
