History
1910: The V International Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists was held within the walls of the Institute
In 1910, the V International Congress of Obstetricians-Gynecologists was held within the walls of the Institute.
1904: Imperial Clinical Midwifery Institute opened
In March 1904, the Imperial Clinical Midwifery Institute was opened on Strelka Vasilyevsky Island - now the Research Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductology named after D.O. Otta.
The institute building, located between the Exchange and the building of the Twelve Colleges, was built in 1899-1904 according to the project of Leonty Nikolaevich Benois.
The architect developed the project of the complex in accordance with the program proposed by the director of the institute, the largest specialist in the field of gynecology - Dmitry Oskarovich Ott. The place for construction was provided by order of the government.
Despite the compactness of the plan, L.N. Benoit created a functional building. The institute was recognized as exemplary in professional circles.
In addition to the main administrative building and several buildings of the same type with hospital wards, the architect included a residential building with apartments for employees and office buildings in the complex. Almost all of them were interconnected by internal transitions.
The main scientific and educational building housed an assembly hall with an organ, a grand staircase, a museum, a library, auditoriums with amphitheaters, and operating rooms. The lower floors were occupied by reception rooms, a clinical laboratory, and a hydropathic hospital.
The main facade of the administrative building, facing the building of the Twelve Colleges, has a classical symmetrical composition. The middle part of the case is highlighted by a colonnade. Behind the protrusions on the sides of the central part are large classrooms.
In addition to the compositional solution, the use of a warrant, which plays a decorative role in this eclectic work in style, resembles the classics on the main facade.
The widespread use of ceramic tiles and the drawing of some details in interior decoration, for example, staircase fences, reveal the influence of Art Nouveau.
The institute was equipped with engineering systems in accordance with advanced time technologies. A special electric lighting on long bars was immediately arranged here, a system for filtering and heating tap water, and a ventilation system were equipped.
D.O. Ott managed to turn the Institute into a scientific center of world importance.
