One of them,Tomsk Milling-Elevator Technical School (training specialists-technicians and site engineers for construction of elevators in Siberia), was located in buildings on Solyanaya Square. However, next year in 1931 governmental decree was issued to reorganize technical school into Tomsk Milling-Elevator Institute. The Institute also got the neighboring building – the former building of NKVD (The People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs). It was reformed as an additional academic building of new university. Nowadays it is the third building of TSUAB (symbolic elevator and year of this emblem creation can still be seen on the fronton). In 1939 another governmental decision relocates the Institute back to Moscow and the available buildings are given to Tomsk Milling-Elevator Technical School (second organization). In 1943 it was renamed into Tomsk Polytechnic (second organization).
