Narva mnt 25 ja 27 ühiselamud

Aastatel 1969–1972 ehitati ülikoolile kaks uut ühiselamut aadressil Narva mnt 25 ja 27 ning mõlemas oli ette nähtud 540 kohta. Üheksakorruseliste hoonete juurde rajati alumise korruse laiendusena teenindusplokk söökla ja muude teenindavate asutuste jaoks. Narva mnt 25 ühiselamusse paigutati Nõukogude ajal suuremalt jaolt füüsika-keemia- ja kehakultuuriteaduskonna üliõpilasi, Narva mnt 27 ühiselamusse aga enamasti bioloogia-geograafia- ning majandusteaduskonna tudengeid. 2004. aastaks renoveeriti mõlemad hooned täielikult.

Tartu Ülikooli endine arendusprorektor, geoloog ja keskkonnateadlane Erik Puura, kes õppis ülikoolis 1980. aastate teisel poolel, meenutab:
„Ja et lihtsalt nädalavahetustel mitte tööd teha, lülitas komandant lifti välja ja kõik pidid raskete kottidega jalgsi üles ronima. Mida me siis tegime – vahetasime korruste numbrid ära. 4., 5., 7., 8,. 9., 6. Kõige suuremas segaduses olid need, kes elasid 6. korrusel, sest seda korrust lihtsalt enam polnud. Vaatasid – oeh, mööda läksin! – ja ronisid alla tagasi. No nemad tabasid ruttu ära, aga palju oli juhtumeid, kus mindi ülemistel korrustel enda arvates oma tuppa, löödi jalaga uks lahti ja leiti sealt hoopis teised inimesed […] kogu seda tegevust seiras väga lõbus seltskond, kelle arv järjest suurenes – keegi passis trepil, piilus alla ning hõikas, et uus ohver tuleb.“

Narva mnt 25 and 27 student residences

Between 1969 and 1972, the university built two new residences at Narva mnt 25 and 27. Both buildings were designed to house 540 students. The nine-storey building was given a ground floor extension for a service block to house a cafeteria and other services. During the Soviet era, the Narva mnt 25 student residence housed mainly physics, chemistry and physical education students. Narva mnt 27 housed biology, geography and economics students. Both buildings were completely renovated in 2004.
Former vice rector for development at the University of Tartu, geologist and environmental scientist Erik Puura, who studied at the university in the second half of the 1980s, says, “So as not to have to do any work on the weekend, the administrator shut down the lift, and everyone had to walk up the stairs with their heavy bags. What did we do? We switched the floor numbers. 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 6. The most confused were the students living on the 6th floor because it just wasn’t there anymore. They’d look and see that they had climbed past it, and so they started walking back down. They caught on quickly. But there were many occasions where on the upper floors, people thought they were going to their rooms, would fling open the door and find other people there […] a fun, ever-expanding group observed the whole thing. Someone kept a lookout on the stairs, peeked down and then yelled that a new victim was approaching.”
