České Budějovice - The University of South Bohemia has begun the construction of three new buildings. Two of them will be built on the campus in České Budějovice and one in Vodňany in the Strakonice region. The total costs for the construction of the buildings and their equipment will exceed one billion crowns, significantly supported by the European Union. Hana Bumbová, spokesperson for the University of South Bohemia, said this to ČTK. In May, construction companies started work on the premises of the Faculty of Science. A building with an area of 4,750 square meters will be constructed in the shape of the letter H and will have four floors. It will be located in the university campus in České Budějovice. "The building is situated in close proximity to the current part of the Faculty of Science and the laboratories of the Biological Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences. It will create a cohesive complex necessary for the educational and research activities of the university," said Bumbová. The construction and acquisition of equipment will cost 363 million crowns, of which 308 million will come from European Union funds. The opening of the new building is scheduled for October 31, 2014. In June of this year, work began on the construction of a building for the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Fisheries and Water Protection. This building will also stand on the České Budějovice campus. The three-story building in the shape of a Y will cover a total area of 4,800 square meters. "This building will house lecture halls, classrooms, laboratories, offices for teachers and PhD students, as well as technical and operational support areas," Bumbová stated. The construction and acquisition of equipment in this case amounts to 295 million crowns, with a grant from the European Union covering 250 million crowns of the costs. The completion date for this project is set for 2014. At the end of June, the University of South Bohemia also ceremoniously initiated the construction of a research center for aquaculture and biodiversity of hydrocenoses (CENAKVA) in Vodňany in the Strakonice region. The center is being established by the Faculty of Fisheries and Water Protection. CENAKVA has been operating in temporary buildings since this year. The new complex will be completed by the end of 2013. The project costs are 370 million crowns, of which 270 million crowns will be provided to the university from European Union funds. The center will primarily focus on the development of breeding perch, pike-perch, and sturgeons, as well as the use of crayfish and fish as bioindicators of water quality.
