1 Podaruevskaya Street was named in honour of Prokopy Ivanovitch Podaruev (1818-1900), a patron of the arts (меценат) and the mayor of Tyumen, now the street has another name. In this street, the University occupies a very remarkable old building made of red brick that was erected in 1901. Its architecture is notable for strict geometry of decoration. The interior of the building reflects the respect to academic process typical of pre-revolutionary Russia, and evokes self-respect, desire to study and to acquire knowledge. Beautiful cast-iron stairs with Masharov’s manufacture mark decorate it inside. There is a charming rosary in its premises. The building neighbours several historical monuments belonging to the 18th, 19th centuries and the beginning of the 20th century. Among them Znamensky Cathedral that was built in the 18th century, and nowadays is considered to be one of the most beautiful church buildings in Siberia.
2 The next site is Republic Street, former Tzarskaya Street. Here it is situated another university building, that was constructed in 1964. Nowadays it houses three faculties and the University Publishing house. This building faces the University Information Library Centre and Regional Centre of Internet Education Federation erected in 2001.
3 The former Spasskaya Street involves us into a journey along the buildings that house most of the University faculties, departments and institutes. At the corner of Perekopskaya Street (former Trusovsky Lane) and Lenin Street (former Spasskaya Street) there is another university complex. Students study in the building constructed in 1982. In 1995 the students of two faculties moved into the block designed purposefully for them. This complex neighbours both old buildings of Knyazev's house and Polish Catholic Cathedral of St. Jozeph. It is situated in the very historical part of Tyumen.
4 In 1999, at the corner of two streets, Chelyuskintsev and Lenin, at the very centre of the town, another university building, housing the popular Institute, opened its doors. The facade of this building presents a sort of a huge mirror wall that reflects splendid architectural monuments: Spassky Cathedral, the Palace of Children's Creative Activity, Yankel Shaichik's house. From the point of view of the interior planning, halls, corridors and lecture-halls of this Institute are the most remarkable among the whole of the University buildings.
5 Going down Dzerzhinsky Street in the direction to the Tura River you cannot fail to notice an amazing Burkov's House and a wooden two-storied house with a balcony. Both houses were built according to the "modernist' style, as well as the building of another faculty of Tyumen State University, the target of our stroll along Dzerzhinsky Street. From the very beginning, the rooms of this building were designed as classrooms. In 1914, it started as a private technical school. Nowadays, the students of one of the faculties study in this building.
6 Outside historical centre of Tyumen there is another University building that houses one more faculty. It is located in the suburb of Tyumen. It allows to have not only a site for the building itself constructed in 1980 but also a plot of land for an experimental hothouse. If you come into the building you will find yourself among green plants and beautiful flowers. There is also the taxidermy laboratory where you can see stuffed wild animals and birds (чучела зверей и птиц).
