Institute of Physics and Mathematics of the Jagiellonian University
The building was realised in 1964 as one of the structures that were built to commemorate the jubilee — the 600 th anniversary of the Jagiellonian University. Located at the so called Senate Plot, it completes the urban block marked by Adama Mickiewicza Avenue, Krupnicza St., 3 Maja Avenue, and the Dr. Henryk Jordan Park. Its extended, low ground floor reaches toward the verdure adjacent to the park. The building comprises the higher part of 7 floors with class rooms which is crowned by a characteristic, recessed last floor and the lower part of 2 floors containing auditoria. The lower part forms an atrium and courtyard in front of the entrance. A kind of a concrete, sculpturally formed pergola leads to the entrance itself whereby the whole reminds of the Italian postwar Modernist architecture. The main elevation is also interestingly formed due to its unconventional layout of windows which evokes the impression of an undulating facade.
