The structure is one of the better examples of Functionalism in Krakow, built after the year 1956. The mass is shaped horizontally — that is articulated by means of the mutual shifting of the upper part, by a mezzanine band and by a high ground floor (where auditories and library are positioned). Exterior elevations are executed of prefabricated facade elements. Composition of the sculptural front elevation is complemented by an expressive external ramp with stairs, lined by concrete planters. In the upper entrance hall there is an abstract ceramic mosaic. The glazed overpass is situated on round columns and cylindrical ‘pilotis’. In front of the entrance there is a pond with a fountain and next to it a steel, geometricising, spatial sculpture. In their vicinity there are other sculptures — lambs of river stone sculpted by Bronisław Chromy.
