      • The church was built in 1912–1913 in the Neo-Russian style to a design by I. V. Padlevsky, who won the competition.
      • The church was consecrated on 15 (28) December 1913 and dedicated to the Intercession (Pokrov), in memory of the institute's founding day.
      • In 1923 the church was closed, its dome and bell tower dismantled, and it became a club, a warehouse, then a military department lecture hall.

      • In 1995 the domes and bell tower were restored and a three-tier iconostasis installed.
