The building of the faculty of foreign languages

Foreign Languages Faculty (Perm State Pedagogical University)

If you walk up Sibirskaya Street, you will find a small green building in the yard of the edifice of the Perm State Pedagogical University. You’re sure to ask what it is. This is the building where the faculty of Foreign languages is located. At first sight it seems two-storeyed. But it isn’t so.

The 3-rd building of the PSPU is 180 years old and during all these years it`s walls have been green. You may be deeply interested in the reason for it. The thing is, the building is an architectural monument, as it was designed by the most noble Russian architect Sviyazev [1], and it can’t be repainted.

Those who have never studied in our building say, that it is so small and old… But as for us, the students of the faculty of Foreign languages, we are proud of our building and its history. The faculty of Foreign languages lives as one family. Even if you don’t know a person’s name, his face is familiar to you. Everyone is amiable and helpful as this faculty became our second home.

We spend much time in the building and feel at home there, as there’s an atmosphere of warmth, cosiness and understanding, joy and friendship.Rumour has it in the building of the faculty there sang the greatest singer Fedor Shalyapin, and this is one more reason to be proud of our building.
