Vul. Pekarska, 50 – Veterinary Medicine Academy Main building

The main building of the Academy is complex in its layout; it is a three-story building with a high socle and a high mansard roof. The interior planning is predominantly of a corridor type. Elements of Heoclassical style were used in the architecture of the building, such as a monumental portico with columns and somewhat exaggerated proportions.

A bronze memorial plaque (70 x 50 cm) is located on the façade of the main building of the Academy on the level of the first floor. It is completed as a high relief bust of a well-known scholar, Professor Stepan Grzycki, located in a deep niche. At the bottom of the plaque there is the following sign: “A prominent Ukrainian biochemist, member-correspondent of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Agriculture (УАСГН), Professor Stepan Grzycki (1900-1976), studied and worked in the Institute, the former Academy of Veterinary Medicine.” The plaque was unveiled in 1991 according to decision No. 5, dated 3 January 1990, of the Lviv Execution Committee. The plaque was created according to the project by sculptor V. Turetskyi and the architect I. Mykytiuk. 

This architectural site is a characteristic example of Stalinist Neoclassicism; it has historic value as a building connected with the activities of the prominent Ukrainian scholar, Professor Stepan Grzycki.
