Civil engineering students of the Polar State University have attended an on-site lecture on the restoration of Norilsk’s “Tower” public space. Those interested will be able to join the team of civil engineers restoring the building.
Until the early 1990s, while urban infrastructure and residential buildings were still being built in Norilsk, students of Russia’s northernmost university complemented their theoretical knowledge by gaining practical construction experience. After construction in the city ground to a halt, learning was reduced to theory, and university graduates still needed on-the-job training.
But in 2024, under the Norilsk renovation program, several socially significant sites are being redeveloped or given a new lease of life. Future civil engineering graduates have had the opportunity to see construction and restoration processes with their own eyes.
Cultural heritage sites. The year-round public space “Tower” at 1 Leninsky Prospekt will open in 2024. The restoration of the building, with additional funding from Nornickel, is nearing completion.
As a cultural heritage site, the Tower is subject to field supervision. Together with its “twin” at 2 Leninsky Prospekt, the building is Norilsk’s most famous landmark. Accordingly, the restoration process will preserve its architectural details and original appearance.
