Masaryk University is considering acquiring the White House in Brno

"We would like to use the White House for education and for the Institute of Computer Science at Masaryk University, which is currently located in several places, including rented spaces. The current leases that the city of Brno has concluded in the White House would not be affected by a potential purchase," said university spokeswoman Tereza Fojtová to ČTK. The building is on the school's list of possible investments until 2024.

Brno councillor Marek Janíček (ANO) told reporters this week that the operation of offices in the White House is currently not at risk. In the long term, it is expected that after the completion of all phases of the reconstruction of the Zahradníkova polyclinic, doctors will gradually move there. The university has been informed about this and respects it, Janíček stated.

The polyclinics in the White House and on Zahradníkova Street fall under one municipal contribution organization, the Association of Healthcare Facilities II.

The eight-story administrative building on Žerotínovo náměstí, known as the White House, was built according to the design of architects Miroslav Spurný and František Jakubec from 1974 to 1976. It belonged to the Municipal Committee of the Communist Party, and after 1989 it began to serve healthcare purposes.

The facility also includes a multifunctional hall for up to 300 people, named after composer and conductor Břetislav Bakala. In the vicinity of the White House are other buildings and facilities of Masaryk University, such as the rectorate, cafeteria, archive, faculty of social studies, faculty of philosophy, gymnasium, and university cinema.
