Bread house, chicken coop, incubator - demolition of UWM law faculty building in Olsztyn

04 of May '20

Despite the fact that the so-called business incubator of the faculties of Law and Administration and Social Sciences at UWM in Olsztyn is not one of the most beautiful, or even pretty or aesthetically pleasing, it can certainly be called interesting... The shape indeed resembles a breadbox, it can also be associated with a space observatory. This is the last time we see it in person.

The demolition of the building, known for its distinctive shape, inaugurates the construction of the new UWM faculty headquarters in Olsztyn. Until now, the "chicken coop" housed the dean's office of the law faculty.

The architectural firm Sosak & Sosak is the author of the project for the demolished building. According to Stanislaw Sosak, the architects had no influence on the final appearance of the building. The result did not resemble the original design at all.

Construction of the WPiA and WNS will begin in mid-May, when the site will be cleared of the materials of the existing building. UWM alumni are taking part in the work, including Krzysztof Janiszewski - works manager, Katarzyna Zielińska - site foreman, and Barbara Duliasz - site engineer, who probably knew the dismantled building very well. It will be replaced by a two-wing edifice, which will also be the new headquarters of the Social Sciences Department. Construction is expected to be completed in 2023. The general contractor is Budimex.
