Kamyanets-Podilsky National University
Ukraine, Kamianets-Podilskyi
Kamyanets-Podilskyi University was founded in 1918 and in 1919 had 5 faculties. The first rector of the university was the famous linguist Professor I.I. Ogienko, later a church leader. Today, about 8,000 full-time and part-time students study here, there are 11 faculties, an institute for pre-university training, a center for advanced training and an educational and consulting center in Shepetovka.
The university is housed in a building built at the end of the 19th century for a technical school and characterized by monumental architecture with elements of an eclectic style, combined with lightness of emphasizing details. Initially designed as a three-story university building, in the course of reconstruction, a fourth tier was added, which stands out, in comparison with the main perimeter, with ascetic decoration, the main dominant of which is a bas-relief image on the pediment above the central entrance. The building has a rich façade, where on the first and second floors the walls are surrounded by French rustication, the windows of the second and third floors are highlighted with a Corinthian order, the window contours have both arched and rectangular outlines.

Built in the 19th century for the needs of the technical school, the building was originally planned as an educational and administrative building, which was fully used when in 1913 the question of placing a teacher's seminary within these walls was considered. And five years later, at the dawn of modern times, when Ukraine’s independence was declared after the 1917 revolution, one of the first universities in Podillya was established on the basis of the school in 1918 on behalf of the Ministry of Education of the Young State.
