HISTORICAL BUILDINGS
HOSPITAL BUILDINGS COMPLEX: CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
1932-1975
The complex is located between
Abovyan and Heratsi Streets. The building was designed in 1932 and constructed
in stages. The first phase was completed in 1939, while full construction was
finished in 1975. In 1987, the building was extended from the Abovyan Street
side further into the depth of the site.
It is designed for 150 beds.
Due to the slope of the terrain, the building is two stories high on the
Heratsi Street side and three stories high on the opposite side. The central
volume (33 m long and 16 m wide), which houses the administrative offices, is
connected by an arched composition to the side wings (clinical departments).
The wing facing Heratsi Street is designated for the pediatric polyclinic.
The building is constructed of
stone. The building materials used include rough-hewn basalt, Artik tuff, and
reinforced concrete.
The arched massing of the
structure, aligned with the outline of Abovyan Park, plays an important role in
organizing the visual termination of Abovyan Street.
The building is designed in a
classical architectural style.
