Within the Faculty of Petroleum Technology and Petrochemistry, the project “Modernization, endowment and internal repartition at UPG Ploiești - Building I” is being implemented, supported from non-reimbursable founds through Regio (Regional Operational Program 20142020), within Priority Axis 10 - “Improving infrastructure Investment Priority 10.1 - "Investing in education and training, including vocational training, for the acquisition of skills and lifelong learning through the development of education and training infrastructures", Specific Objective 10.3 - "Increasing the relevance of tertiary education in relationship with the labor market and competitive economic sectors ”.

The total value of the project is 27,955,222 lei and aims to increase the level of education both by equipping the faculty laboratories with modern equipment and by restoring the educational spaces in the faculty so that they correspond to current requirements. Thus, following these works, the I building of the university, in which the Faculty of Petroleum Technology and Petrochemistry is located, will have its own thermal module that will ensure much more efficient heating of the rooms but also facilities in accordance with the latest requirements regarding the fire safety of this building.

The estimated date of finishing the project is March 2022.
