Technological Institute is the only operating cross-platform hub of the St. Petersburg Metro. Located on the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya line between the stations "Baltiyskaya" and "Pushkinskaya", as well as on the Moscow-Petrogradskaya line between the stations " Sennaya Square"and" Frunzenskaya ". The largest station in terms of size on the first stage of the subway.
The station consists of two halls, "Technological Institute-1" and "Technological Institute-2", the first of which was opened on November 15, 1955 as part of the first stage of the Avtovo metro - Ploshad Vosstaniya. The name is due to the fact that the ground lobby is located in close proximity to the Technological Institute. The Metropolitan Office is located in the same building.
On December 15, 2011, the Council for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage included the station in the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Objects of Regional Importance

The entrance hall of the Technological Institute-1 station is built into the building of the Administration of the St. Petersburg Metro, located at the corner of Moskovsky and Zagorodny avenues, and built in the form of a semicircular monumental three-story building of soft beige color, the facade of which is decorated with a long colonnade of high semi-columns with flutes. The basement of the building is made of rusticated granite blocks.
The building was built on the site of N. M. Rulev’s house demolished for the needs of the future metro.
At the entrance to the lobby there is a round entrance hall with a high dome covered with anodized metal plates. In one of the arches on the wall, it was planned to make a panel with the image of Stalin standing on the stairs.
On the cornice of the dome in the project there was an inscription:
"Glory to Stalin, the great architect of communism, the luminary of science!"
St.m. "Technological Institute-2", in contrast to the "Technological Institute-1", is designed in a strict functional style (it was built during the years of Khrushchev's total economy program). Architects A. I. Pribulsky, A. Ya. Macheret and V. V. Gankevich completed the almost white hall with an original move: marble pylons are decorated with chronological inscriptions about the successes achieved by Soviet science and technology. The chronicle is conducted from 1920 to 1979 (during the reconstruction, metal letters were strengthened in this hall for the last time).
The stairway, "hanging" over the tracks of the columned hall, leaves the end of the middle hall of the pylon station. The end staircase is located almost in the center of the vestibule, and for transfer both platforms were connected by two small tunnels under the passage. There are such at many stations, but they are usually not intended for passengers. The tunnels are tiled.
The station aprons are simply decorated: the walls of the pylons are lined with marble, and the track walls are lined with black and white tiles with a strip of gray granite on top. This is reminiscent of the design of the Chernyshevskaya travel walls.
Initially, "Technological Institute-2" had no access to the surface and was connected to the first hall by a central passage. Only on July 18, 1980, the second inclined passage was opened, built under the guidance of architects A. S. Getskin, A. V. Kvyatkovsky and. E. Sergeeva. The vestibule of the first hall was connected to the second. Since then, the exits from both halls of the station are located in the northern end, each of them has three escalators.
At the station "Technological Institute-2" in 2007, the floors on the platforms were replaced. In 2011–2012, the tiled lining of the track walls was replaced with marble.
Transition between the stations "Technological Institute-1" and "Technological Institute-2":
- There is one narrow passage between the stations. The width of the aisle is due to the fact that the main flow of passengers changing from line to line uses a cross-platform solution.
- In this passage, on a blank wall, there was a decorative scheme of the Leningrad Metro. It has not been updated since 1995, and during the reconstruction of the passage dedicated to the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg, it was removed (at first, the scheme was dismantled for restoration work, then it was decided not to restore it due to the loss of relevance).

According to the confessions of many residents and guests of the city, it looks like a huge underground palace. The very first laid down line of the St. Petersburg metro is the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya, or "red", branch, on which the only operating cross-platform hub of the city is located - the Tekhnologichesky Institute metro station. What is interesting about Tekhnolozhka, what are its history and design features?
History of the station "Technological Institute"
The station's first hall was opened in 1955 as a conventional single platform station. "Technolozhka" was a deep column station. However, for 61 years its design has not changed. The only cardinal change occurred in April 1961. On that day, the opening of the Tekhnologichesky Institut-2 metro station took place, to which the tracks of the Moscow-Petrogradskaya line were subsequently connected. Thus, a cross-platform landing hub was created, which, however, did not immediately work at full capacity - only two years after the opening, following the launch of the second stage of the “blue” line to the Petrogradskaya station.
