The Tomsk State University of Architecture and Building (Russian: Томский государственный архитектурно-строительный университет) is located in Tomsk, Russia. Tomsk State University of Architecture and Building (TSUAB) is one of the civil engineering universities in Western Siberia. TSUAB provides fundamental and applied training of students within bachelor, master and specialist programs in architecture and civil engineering. TSUAB history dates back to 1901 when the First Siberian Merchant School was established. In 1904 merchants of Tomsk put their efforts together with city authorities to constructbuilding for the school which is currently known as the second building of TSUAB ("the red one").

The Institute also got the neighboring building – the former building of NKVD (The People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs). It was reformed as an additional academic building of new university.
