Penza State University, University in Penza, Russia.

Penza State University is a higher education institution in Penza with multiple buildings housing classrooms, research facilities, and student spaces. The campus includes laboratories, libraries, dormitories, and sports centers located throughout the city center.

The institution was founded in 1943 as an industrial institute and later relocated to Penza from another Soviet city. This move shaped the academic development of the region for decades to come.

The university serves as a gathering place for students from across the region and shapes the intellectual life of the city. Here young people meet for discussions, exhibitions, and events that reflect the academic traditions of Penza.

The campus is accessible by public transport and has multiple entry points for visitors. Students and guests can access libraries, laboratories, and sports facilities depending on what is currently open.

The Medical Institute on campus maintains a collection of anatomical specimens from the Soviet era used for educational purposes. These exhibits show the nature of medical teaching from earlier decades.
