The building was constructed in 1722-1742 by the original design of architect D. Trezzini and later by T. Schwertfeger and M. Zemtsov. The building was meant for the placement of Senate, Synod and the colleges – supreme bodies of government, which were established by Peter the Great in 1718.The Twelve Collegia is twelve three-storey buildings of the same size and architectural style, which are connected together. In the XVIII century each building had its own entrance. The architecture of the edifices is quite symbolic: it reflects the independence of each college and at the same time accentuates their correlation in the solution of state problems. In different times in the building of the Twelve Collegia there were supreme bodies of government, the State Pedagogical Institute and Saint-Petersburg State University. Nowadays the Twelve Collegia is still the main building of Saint-Petersburg State University. There are the science library and some administrative services of the university. In the building there is Peterovsky Hall, where different events are held as well as regular concerts for public.
