History of the faculty

In 1844 in the Lviv Academy of Engineering, which emerged on the basis of real school, there was a profile department of building, which was engaged in training of civil engineers and architects. The first steps in training of builders-specialists were carried out under the supervision of Professor Yulian Zakhariievych, whose work is directly related to the design (1872) and construction (18733-1877 gg.) of the Main Building of Lviv Polytechnic. At the same period at the engineering department of Lviv Academy of Engineering the profile department of building of roads and bridges, healed by Professor J. Yohenman, was established. Since 1872 the engineering and architectural departments of Lviv Polytechnic Academy trained builders, architects and traffic engineers. Taking into consideration the specialized departments the year 1872 can be considered the year of establishment of the Faculty of Civil Engineering.
