HISTORICAL BUILDINGS
HOSPITAL BUILDING COMPLEX: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
1932-1975
State index: 1.6.94.5
Architects: Alexander Tamanyan, Mark Grigoryan
The building is
located between Abovyan and Heratsi streets, on the northern and northeastern
side of the hospital complex, at 60 Abovyan Street.
Architects Alexander
Tamanyan and Mark Grigoryan designed the building in 1932. The construction
took place in phases. They completed the first part in 1939 and finished the
entire construction in 1975. The building underwent changes during
construction. In 1987, they expanded the building towards the interior of the
plot from the Abovyan Street side.
The hospital has a
capacity of 150 beds.
It is a two-story
building, but due to the slope of the terrain, it appears as three stories from
Heratsi Street. The central volume (33 m long, 16 m wide), which houses
administrative rooms, connects in an arc shape to the side wings (where the
clinical departments are located). The wing on Heratsi Street is allocated to
the children's polyclinic.
The building is made
of stone, using rough-hewn basalt, Artik tuff, and reinforced concrete as
construction materials.
The arc-shaped volume
of the structure, placed along the outline of Abovyan Park, plays a significant
role in organizing the end of Abovyan Street.
The architects
designed the building in the classical architectural style.
