Multimillionaire builds IT school of the future in Kyiv

By Denys Krasnikov / September 21, 2016

Multimillionaire Vasyl Khmelnytsky, 50, couldn’t even wait for the construction workers to finish the new IT school that he’s building in the northwest part of Kyiv.

Reflecting the fast pace of the IT industry, Khmelnytsky went ahead and opened the first classroom in the semi-constructed building in August. Today — two months before opening, — 300 applicants are sitting in the large classroom, taking tests to get into the school, with construction work still going on in the building around them.
