Red University Building, Educational building in downtown Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Red University Building extends 145 meters along Volodymyrska Street with a four-story structure enclosing a large internal courtyard.
Italian architect Vincent Beretti designed this late Russian Classicism building between 1837 and 1843 as part of Saint Vladimir Imperial University.
The black and red color scheme of the building reflects the Order of Saint Vladimir, whose motto 'Benefit, honor and glory' became the university motto.
Students and visitors enter through wide stairs leading to an eight-columned portico on the eastern facade, with accessibility ramps on both sides.
The building appears on Ukrainian 100 hryvnias banknotes and survived a near-miss rocket strike during the 2022 Russian invasion.
