There is the first director (rector) of KPI V. L. Kyrpychov monument at the entrance of the main building of the university. The bronze bust of the scientist is placed on the high square basement made of red granite. The basement is built up of a base cube and smaller rectangular block with engraved memorial inscription and quotation from welcome speech of V. Kyrpychov that was delivered at opening ceremony of KPI in August 31, 1898. Forward-mounted monument with elongated trapezoidal shoulder cut is decorated with diagonal laurel branch from bust to the right shoulder. Concentrated look of the scientist intensifies emotional and psychological image tension and gives it some pathetic lines. General image and compositional concept of the monument gravitates to traditional stylistic direction that was typical for Ukrainian art of the last decades. The formal-style composition and clothes interpretation relate to a particular historical period of life time of the scientist.
There is an engraving on the postament: “The first rector of KPI professor Kyrpychov Viktor Lvovych (1845-1913)”
