VTU moved more toward a Western European university structure and featured faculties of architecture, construction, engineering communications, mechanics, and electronics.

With the 2009 Law on Higher Education and Research, the Seimas of the Lithuanian Republic ordered all state-funded universities to reorganize into nonprofit organizations (Viešosios įstaigos) tasked with working in the public interest by 2011.

[5] The VILNIUS TECH library, which has over 100,000 distinct titles, is located nearby at Saulėtekio al.

The Faculties of Architecture and Creative Industries are located at Pylimo g. 26/1 in Vilnius Old Town, in a complex which includes a historical manor belonging to the House of Tyszkiewicz.

[9] The Naujamiestis eldership of Vilnius, also located in the city center, houses several faculties in two buildings.

[5] The former is across the street from the Algirdo stop, which connects several crosstown trolleybus lines, including the 14, which goes all the way to the Saulėtekis campus.

[10] The latter is near the Vytenio stop, which is served by the 73 bus, connecting northwestern and southwestern Vilnius neighborhoods.

It is near the Oro uostas stop, which is served by the 3G express bus as well as the 1, 2, and 88 buses, which connect the airport to the city center.

[16] The integrated (five-year) program in aircraft piloting is offered completely in English.

It is the largest school of architecture in Lithuania and has over 500 students spread across bachelor's, master's, and doctoral studies.

It offers bachelor's programs in English in the fields of business management and economics engineering.

The faculty has expanded to ten departments: information systems, information technologies, graphical systems, chemistry and bioengineering, physics, engineering graphics, mathematical modeling, mathematical statistics, strength of materials, and theoretical mechanics.

The faculty also offers a joint master's degree program in mechatronics with the Braunschweig University of Technology.

Four are related to the Scientific Institute of Thermal Insulation, and 8 belong to the Civil Engineering Research Center.

Scattered throughout the rest of the university are 21 other research laboratories at both the faculty and department levels.

[31] Six of VILNIUS TECH Press's journals are published open access with a Creative Commons CC BY-NC 4.0 license: Business: Theory and Practice, Coactivity: Philosophy, Communication, Coactivity: Philology, Educology, Science — Future of Lithuania, Business, Management and Education, and Aviation technologies.

[35] In 2023, Antanas Gustaitis Aviation Institute of VILNIUS TECH joined the international PEGASUS network of aerospace engineering universities.

Algirdas Butkevičius, the 12th Prime Minister of Lithuania, completed the economics engineering program.

[38] Rolandas Paksas, a former President of Lithuania and two-time prime minister, also graduated from VISI.

[39] Former Speaker of the Seimas Viktoras Muntianas, Member of the European Parliament Valdemar Tomaševski, and former Prime Minister and Signatory of the Act of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania Gediminas Vagnorius are all also VISI alumni.

[40][41][42] In the creative arts, composer and rock pioneer Kęstutis Antanėlis and musician Andrius Mamontovas attended the university.

[43] Mamontovas, on the other hand, felt pressure from his father to study a "serious" subject, like engineering.

After his time in the Soviet Army, however, Mamontovas reconsidered and left VISI to study journalism at Vilnius University.
