Communal House of the Textile Institute
Communal House of the Textile Institute, Constructivist student dormitory in Donskoy District, Russia.
The building contains three connected sections: a sleeping block with long corridors, a sanitary facility, and an educational wing with communal spaces.
Architect Ivan Nikolaev completed this student housing complex in 1930 as an experimental living space for the Moscow Textile Institute students.
The building structure reflects Soviet social principles through its organized layout, with 1008 small sleeping cabins measuring 2.3 by 2.7 meters each.
The dormitory underwent extensive restoration between 2011 and 2016, which included reinforcing the metal framework and reconstructing the ribbon windows.
Students followed a strict schedule, moving from sleeping quarters through sanitary facilities to study areas via corridors and triangular ramps.
