KTU has a total of 12 dormitory buildings with the capacity to accommodate about 2,500 students. In recent years, the university campus grounds have undergone rapid renovation – the freshly paved bicycle roads and walkways, and recreational facilities are perfectly suited for active outdoor activities. The ongoing student residencies’ reconstruction will see half of the dormitories entirely renovated by 2025. The main campus of KTU – where the main buildings of the engineering and technology faculties, as well as dormitories, are located – is next to the most beautiful neighbourhood of the city. The oak grove Ąžuolynas, the largest urban forest in Europe of mature oaks covering 84 hectares, is just a short stroll away from the campus. Walking through quiet streets lined with Kaunas’ signature modernist architecture, one can reach the city centre on foot.
