Tartu Ülikooli esimene ühiselamu
Pildiallkiri: Tartu Ülikooli esimene ühiselamu 20. sajandi alguses
Autor: Jaan Kristin (Eesti Ajaloomuuseum).
1902.–1904. aastal ehitati siia ülikooli arhitekti Reinhold Guleke projekti alusel Tartu ülikooli esimene ühiselamu. Selle põhjus oli seotud Vene võimude sooviga üliõpilasi enam kontrolli all hoida. Siiski ei leidnud maja üliõpilaste poolehoidu, sealne üür osutus kalliks ja tudengid eelistasid jätkata tubade üürimist eramajades.

Eesti Vabariigi ajal hoonet enam ühiselamuna ei kasutatud. 1921. aastal paigutati siia riigi keskarhiiv ja peamiselt arhiivihoonena oli maja kasutusel kuni 2016. aastani, mil Tartus Nooruse tänaval valmis uus Rahvusarhiivi hoone. Seejärel kasutasid maja ajutise pinnana ülikooli raamatukogu, majandusteaduskond ning humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond. Praegu hoone enam ülikoolile ei kuulu ja selle omanik on Riigi Kinnisvara AS.

First dormitory of the University of Tartu 
The first dormitory of the University of Tartu in the early 20th century 
Author: Jaan Kristin (Estonian History Museum) 
From 1902 to 1904, the first dormitory of the University of Tartu was constructed here according to
the design of the university’s architect Reinhold Guleke. The reason for this had to do with the
Russian authorities’ desire to exert more control over students. However, the dormitory did not
become popular among students, as the rent proved expensive and students preferred to continue
renting rooms in private houses. 
 
When Estonia became a republic, the building was no longer used as a dormitory. In 1921, the
Central State Archives were moved here and the building continued to be used mainly as an archive

building until 2016 when the new building of the National Archives was completed on Nooruse
street in Tartu. After that, the building served as temporary premises for the university’s library, the
School of Economics and Business Administration and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. The
building no longer belongs to the university and is owned by Riigi Kinnisvara AS.
