Švehla dormitory building at Vinohrady was designed by architect Jan Chládek. The portal is decorated with four allegorical sculpture symbolizing the four seasons - the work of Moravian sculptor Franta Úprka. The building represented the Art Deco style.

=========================================================

Budovu Švehlovy koleje na Vinohradech navrhl architekt Jan Chládek. Portál zdobí ctyri alegorická sousoší symbolizující ctyri rocní doby - dílo moravského sochare Franty Úprky. Kolej reprezentovala tehdy velmi populární styl art deco. Fasáda - na rozdíl od soucasné podoby - puvodne byla trojbarevná. Typické pro art-deco jsou totiž barvy v národní trikolore. V suterénu památkove chránené koleje, který byl od 80. let uzavrený a sloužil jako skladište, se ted hraje divadlo. Predstavení se tu hrála už za první republiky, pozdeji sál sloužil mimo jiné jako telocvicna, byl tam i studentský filmový klub.
