1. From the history
The allocation amounting 216000 krone was assigned for the new
building on the Ferdinand Square. It was a fabulous amount of money.
The establishment of the inside equipment was supplied on the credit of
16000 krone and it was impossible to pass the limits. The certain date of
the putting a new building into operation was determined.
At the beginning of August in 1904 the new building had to be ready for
its purpose. The architect Leopold Heil and the engineer Elias
Funkelnstein coped with their tasks brilliantly. In 1904-1905 our
Gymnasium started a new educational year in a new building that
harmonized with the architecture of our town. During all the time
students’ education had always been there. Although the signboards
have been changed, in Gymnasium there is only one essence- “The spirit
of the Ukrainian nationalism and establishment have always been the
basics in our Gymnasium and we’ll certainly continue to espose it.

ordered.
