“The facility is growing by the minute. The building has become 5 metres higher over the past two weeks, and now is 35 metres from the ground level. The museum building is the highest one. It is clearly visible from the road on the bridge. And if you look at the facility from the side of Krasoty Avenue, you can see the ongoing work on completion of the sloped slab going from the building’s base up to the roof. Its total length will be 145 m. It is going to be a fully accessible staircase-shaped roofing for pedestrian walks”, explained Nikolay Volkhin, a superintendent from Stroytransgaz-Vostok.

The second construction site is on the Island Russky. Prior to handover of the facilities of the Higher Musical School and the Choreography Academy of the Culture and Education Complex, the city’s residents could see for themselves the rooms where children will be studying, and learn about the specifics of the construction project.

“The goal of this massive project is to provide residents of Vladivostok and the entire Far East region with the access to the enormous historical and cultural heritage of our country, to provide the necessary infrastructure to those who will study and work here, and to make the city more attractive for tourists”, Andrey Brik, Chairman of Vladivostok Duma, emphasized.
