CU's historically significant campus with its infrastructure and modern equipment is one of the largest higher educational institutions not only in Georgia but in the whole south Caucasus Region. This historical building, once a seminary that had been in possession of Caucasus University since 2005, was initially constructed in 1909. Before the relocation, reconstruction works were under way for several years to allow the preservation of unique culture and architecture. Consequently, all the parts of the seminary capable of being restored have been reconstructed.
