Restorers have completed work in the emergency wing of the Kazan Art School. For the first stage of returning the historical appearance to the architectural monument, 565 million rubles were allocated from the republican budget. In the historical building of the Kazan Art School, an architectural monument of federal significance, the first stage restoration work has been completed - in the emergency wing. Maya Morozova, head of the restoration department of the Main Investment and Construction Directorate (GISU) of the Republic of Tatarstan, spoke about this. “The total estimated cost of the entire facility is 887 million rubles. The republic provides financing in instalments. 565 million rubles were allocated for work in the emergency wing. In the near future, work will begin on the acceptance of this wing into operation, an art school will come here, and restoration work will begin in the front wing,” - explained Morozova. The restorers are especially proud of the auditorium with a ceiling, sections of which are made of squares of pine wood. Before the start of work, the wind literally walked here, the ceiling could hardly hold, many elements became dilapidated. They had to be replaced with analogues, however, the historical sections were preserved as much as possible. But the twisted linden consoles managed to keep everything. The hall will be illuminated by two large chandeliers and a floodlight structure - the room will be used as an exhibition space. The basements of the emergency wing were also put in order. It will house communications and training workshops for sculptors.
