The predecessor of the present University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (or literally Construction) was founded in 1832 as the School of Civil Engineers. In 1842 it was combined with the School of Architecture (founded in 1830), and in 1882 was renamed the Institute of Civil Engineers. Under Soviet rule in 1930 the Institute incorporated the Faculty of Architecture of the Higher Art School (Vysshee khudozhestvennoe uchilishche), which had earlier been part of the Academy of Arts and was renamed the Leningrad Institute of Communal Construction. Its present name dates to 1993, when the status of the Institute of Engineering and Construction was raised to that of a university. The Scientific-Technical Library was founded for the School of Civil Engineers in 1832 and also includes the book collections of the Military Construction School (Voenno-stroitel'noe uchilishche) and the Institute of Civil Engineers. The Museum of the History of the Leningrad Institute of Engineering and Construction was founded as an independent division within the overall structure of the Institute and opened in 1970 to mark the centennial of the birth of V.I. Lenin. |
