The campus includes laboratories, experimental farmland, and greenhouses where students gain hands-on training across different areas of farming and rural sciences.
The institution was founded in 1951 as an agricultural institute and grew over the following decades into a regional center for farming education and research. It later gained academy status and was given the name of Professor I. I. Ivanov in recognition of his contributions to agricultural science.
The academy is named after Professor I. I. Ivanov, a pioneer in animal breeding whose work shaped agricultural science in Russia. Visitors walking through the campus can see buildings that reflect the Soviet-era architectural style typical of higher education institutions from that period.
The academy is in central Kursk and can be reached by public transport from most parts of the city. The outer grounds are open to view, but access inside buildings and to the experimental areas is generally limited to students and those attending official events.
Professor I. I. Ivanov, after whom the academy is named, was one of the first scientists to systematically develop artificial insemination techniques for livestock. His methods were adopted across the world long before the academy was given his name.
