The student dormitory, being an integral part of the university housing infrastructure, ensures the growth of the competitiveness of universities. The projected increase in the number of students by 2035 shows the need to obtain temporary housing for 40% of students studying at universities in Kazakhstan. The article presents the structure of the need for student dormitories in the context of the regions of Kazakhstan as of the modern period of time. An overview of the dynamics of the commissioning of student dormitories in the country over the past 10 years is presented and the analysis of a sharp increase in the commissioning of new student dormitories in 2019–2020 is given. The implementation of the State Program of the Republic of Kazakhstan, aimed at increasing the number of beds in dormitories to 90 thousand by 2025, contributes to the growth of the construction of new student dormitories. The review of the construction and reconstruction of individual student dormitories for a number of Kazakh universities, technical and economic characteristics of the largest student dormitories under construction is carried out. The issues of the financing mechanism for the expansion of student dormitories are disclosed, an algorithm for reimbursing entrepreneurs for initial investments from the state is given, priority directions for attracting private business structures to the construction of student dormitories on the basis of public-private partnership are justified.
