There are 9 faculties in [[university]] specialized in forest engineering and 1 faculty specialized in electronics and computer science [[FEST|Faculty of Computer Science (aka FEST)]]. [[FEST]] was founded in 1959 on initiative by academician [[Sergey Pavlovich Korolev]].
'''Scottsdale Fashion Square''' is the largest [[shopping mall]] in Arizona and the [[American Southwest]], with approximately 2 million square feet (190,000 m²) of retail space, and is among the top 30 largest malls in the country.[http://www.fashionsquare.com/leasing_opportunities/permanent_leasing] It is also one of the most profitable malls in the country with over $700 [[sales per square foot]], more than $400 over the national average.[http://www.azcentral.com/business/articles/1212biz-barneys1212side.html] The mall is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Scottsdale Road and Camelback Road in [[Scottsdale, Arizona]] and has been owned by [[Westcor]] a subsidiary of [[The Macerich Company]], since 2002.
==History==
Scottsdale Fashion Square has a unique development history among regional shopping malls. The mall was originally built as a 3-story open-air structure in 1961. A competing mall, the fully-enclosed Camelview Plaza, was subsequently built just west of Scottsdale Fashion Square, on the other side of North 70th Street.
The two malls competed for shoppers and tenants until, in the late-80s, the owners agreed to connect the malls by building a two-story retail bridge across North 70th Street. In the process, the street separating the two malls was sunk below grade-level, widened to four lanes, and renamed North Goldwater Boulevard. Scottsdale Fashion Square was largely gutted and completely renovated. It was also enclosed by a system of retractable glass skylights. A variety of tenants were able to remain in-place and operating throughout this redevelopment process. In addition to the space added in the retail bridge, the redevelopment process also added additional department store and small store area to each of the malls. The redevelopment was completed in 1991.
Although connected, the two malls retained separate ownership and identities. Signage within the malls indicated to shoppers the demarcation between the two structures. These separate identities continued until, in 1996, the owner of Scottsdale Fashion Square purchased Camelview Plaza.
Due to the success of the redeveloped and expanded mall, the owners again looked for ways to add additional square footage. In 1999, they completed construction of a second retail bridge, this time south across the six-lane Camelback Road. This bridge leads to a new sixth department store ___location.
==Modern==
Today, Scottsdale Fashion Square is known for its high-end tenants, rivaling [[Biltmore Fashion Park]] located six miles to the west. It is the only Arizona ___location for several [[marque]] brands. Scottsdale Fashion Square is anchored by [[Neiman Marcus]], [[Nordstrom]], [[Macy's]], [[Dillard's]] (the largest store in the Dillard's chain), and [[Barneys New York]] (opening Fall 2009).
Due to the merger between Federated Department Stores and May Stores, the 235,000 sq-ft. [[Robinsons-May]] at Fashion Square was closed in June 2006. The space left vacant by Robinsons-May will be torn down and rebuilt to accommodate the much smaller 65,000 sq-ft. flagship [[Barneys New York]], set to open in 2009. The Barney's wing will also add an additional 100,000 sq-ft. anchor to the mall and provide room for 25-30 new luxury stores.
Unique to Fashion Square, many of the retailers stock their full collections at their Scottsdale stores. [[Max Mara]], [[Juicy Couture]] carries both men's and women's collections, [[Burberry]] stocks the exclusive Prorsum Collection, and [[Coach (company)|Coach]] has slowly integrated their clothing line into the store.
In 2005, Fashion Square joined 7 other malls owned by Macerich to form the ''Lumenati Brand'', a mission by Macerich to bring their malls to a new level of luxury. Macerich hopes to make Fashion Square rival other upscale malls in the nation such as [[South Coast Plaza]] in [[Orange County, California]], [[Bal Harbour Shops]] in [[Florida]], and [[Houston Galleria|The Galleria]] in [[Houston, Texas]], all of which are famed centers for luxury collections.
Fashion Square's high profile helped transform downtown Scottsdale into one of the densest urban developments in the Phoenix area. Several luxury hotels , new upscale residences, and eateries have sprung up along the once desolate canal, including [[W Hotel|W Scottsdale]], [[Morgans Hotel Group|Scottsdale Mondrian]], Optima Camelview Village, and Safari Drive.
===Waterfront===
A new bridge from Nordstrom has connected the shopping center with the newly built retail center known as the '''Scottsdale Waterfront''', featuring several upscale eateries and boutiques. Scottsdale Waterfront is so named because it is located along 1,800 linear feet of the [[Arizona Canal]] and is one of the first phases of a master plan to create a pedestrian-friendly experience comparable to the well-known [[San Antonio Riverwalk]]. The twin Scottsdale Waterfront residential towers are the most prominent addition to the downtown skyline, with condominiums pricing as high as $4.5 million or $1,000 per square foot. The first residents will begin to move into the towers on February 12, 2007.
The outdoor entrances to [[Sephora]] and [[Anthropologie]] lead directly to the Scottsdale Waterfront retail and restaurant center. [[Pink Taco]], a restaurant originally begun at the [[Hard Rock Cafe]] in [[Las Vegas]], opened its second restaurant ___location here, creating controversy not only locally, but also nationally, discussed most recently on [[Jon Stewart|Jon Stewart's]] [[The Daily Show]]. The center has Scottsdale's only [[Urban Outfitters]] and has several local boutiques carrying upscale brands such as [[Chloé]], [[Manolo Blahnik]], [[Stella McCartney]], [[Zac Posen]], [[CoCo Blanco]] and others.
===SouthBridge===
Groundbreaking for a new retail, residential combination began in mid-2006. The development, fronted by [[Jennifer Croll]]. Myriad unique restaurants, including SeaSaw, CANAL, and the Estate House are opening at development. The retail is set to be divided between themes: ''Play'', ''Live'', and ''Nest''.
