Specialists from the municipal services complex have completed the main work on the capital repairs of building No. 2 of the Moscow multidisciplinary scientific and clinical center named after S.P. Botkin. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for housing and public utilities and improvement Petr Biryukov.
“The three-story brick building with an area of over three thousand square meters was built in 1909 and was completed until 1937. Its engineering systems and some of the structures were in an unsatisfactory condition, so a decision was made to carry out a major overhaul. The building is a cultural heritage site, and therefore the necessary restoration work was carried out in it,” noted Petr Biryukov.
The specialists reinforced the existing structures, repaired the floors, laid the floor screed, updated the rafter system and roof. They completely replaced the electrical and water supply systems, heating, sewerage, air conditioning and ventilation.
Partitions and suspended ceilings were installed on the floors, stone window sills were mounted, 147 window and nine door units made of hardwood were installed. They became part of the historical appearance of the building, so their dimensions, shape and color were observed.
The building’s facade, with an area of almost three thousand square meters, was restored. The plaster and brick were painted in a style typical of the first half of the 20th century.
The craftsmen preserved the cornices, horizontal graphic rustication at the first floor level and metal canopies above the entrances. In addition, they restored the stairs with figured metal railings and restored the Mettlach tiles on the landings.
Petr Biryukov noted that during the renovation, the Monier vaults discovered on the stairwells were preserved – small-span cylindrical brick vaults arranged between metal beams. They were put in order and plastered.
