The object improved is the territory of the square, located along the Yaroslavskoye highway and the central square in front of the territory in front of the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MGSU). The park is used to go through the territory of MGSU. The central square is multifunctional. It is the main place for communication and recreation for students and lecturers, and is also used for ceremonies and events of the university.

The landscaping project was developed taking into account the aesthetic characteristics of the ensemble of the university buildings and combines the dynamics of composition with the restraint and laconic elements made of architectural concrete.

The project provides for the optimization of the passing-by part in favor of the convenience of pedestrians: illegal parking was moved; the road and path network was organized taking into account the current transit flows. The project also proposed the creation of a cycle lane that will connect the main entrances to the territory with the junior course building. One of the main decisions on the project is to turn the roadway between the square and the park into a pedestrian zone. As a result, the existing problem of the square separated from most of the territory of the object will be solved, while the organization of recreation zones, which become new points of attraction for students and teachers on the territory of the park, will lessen the crowds on the central square. The symbol of the University in the form of the letter "C", which is currently located near the junior course building, doesn't fit with it and the square. Due to this, the project proposed to move it to the other side of the square and raise it to a pedestal. In this place, it will attract more attention and will fix the compositional axis of the ensemble from the pedestrian zone to the Yaroslavskoe highway. Landscaping of the pedestrian territory is made of perennials and roses. The paving will contain bronze plaques with the names of famous university graduates.
