The new main academic building construction started in June 2006. Total cost of the project was 4 billion 300 million tenge. This academic and educational complex has more than 400 classrooms for 5 thousand students. A fitness centre, various sectional departments, lecture halls, 15 computer classes, 6 language laboratories and a library are provided.

As Oraz Mukatai, Head of the construction of the university building, honoured builder of the Republic of Kazakhstan, recalls: ‘For many years, after numerous trips around the world, Maqsut Sultanovich pursued a dream of a purpose-built educational institution that would meet the modern educational requirements, providing conditions for the productive work of faculty members, engagement of students, and overall being a prestigious place to study and work at.

The new building

As a Rector, M. Narikbayev initiated the establishment of a new academic building on the left river bank, designed to meet the highest standards of the campus environment.

Maqsut Narikbayev's extraordinary innovative approach was also manifested here. The concept of a grand staircase with seven columns instead of eight according to the canons of architecture is the principal wish of Maqsut Narikbayev. Seven is a sacred number among the steppe nations, and this symbolisation is a tribute to tradition and a sign of succession, as opposed to blindly copying Western models.

The university building is large and magnificent, impressing with its colonnade, balconies, the architectural design and the perfect colour scheme.

On July 2, 2008 with the participation of the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev, the presentation of the new educational building of the Kazakh Humanities and Law University(KAZGUU)took place.

The ceremony was also attended by Head of the Presidential Administration Kairat Kelimbetov, Minister of Education and Science Zhanseit Tuimebayev, Akim of Astana Imangali Tasmagambetov, and President of KAZGUU Maqsut Narikbayev.
During the event, the Head of State got acquainted with the university museum, the Information and Book Trade Centre of St. Petersburg State University Publishing House, and a number of lecture halls. N. Nazarbayev also visited the Centre of Islamic Economics and Law and the office of the Centre of European Law.
