Title A name given to the resource Melkonian Educational Institute - Headmaster Mansion, Nicosia Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource University of Cyprus - Ledra and Building Materials Labs & The Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ΕΤΕΚ) Description An account of the resource The Melkonian Residence is a listed historic building located in Nicosia. The building was constructed in 1926 and it comprises part of a larger complex of buildings, consisting of two 3-floor structures (used as orphanage and school) and a single one-story residence (the Headmaster Mansion). The entire complex may be described as a hybrid structure with reinforced concrete slabs, beams and columns and load-bearing masonry walls. The Headmaster Mansion masonry walls comprise of locally quarried bioclastic limestone. The average results of tests on concrete specimens collected in-situ are summarized below: <ul> <li>Apparent Density (by vacuum saturation): 2195 kg/m3</li> <li>Open Porosity (by vacuum saturation): 18%</li> <li>Compressive Strength (EN 12390-3): 15.2 MPa</li> </ul> The aforementioned tests for the characterization of the monument's building materials were carried out in 2020, in the framework of the postgraduate course "CON 500 Capstone Design Project" of the interdisciplinary and interdepartmental MSc program "Conservation and Restoration of Historic Buildings and Sites" of the University of Cyprus. Sampling and testing was carried out by staff of the Building Materials and LEDRA Laboratories of the University of Cyprus and by students of the graduate program.

Title A name given to the resource The Pedieos Post Office, Nicosia Description An account of the resource The Pedieos Post Office in Nicosia was one of the first post office buildings constructed in Cyprus. Its construction, according to the State Archive, was completed in 1964 and it is operating normally since then, without interruption. The building is a single-storey structure that covers an area of 140 m2. It is located about 300 m from the Pedieos river, in an area which is characterized by a multitude of important public buildings. Tests performed in-situ with a Rebound Hammer, as per EN 12504–2, to estimate the strength of various concrete members, resulted in an average concrete compressive strength of 22.4 MPa. The aforementioned tests were carried out in 2019, in the framework of an Independent Graduate Study (CON 510) of the interdisciplinary and interdepartmental MSc program "Conservation and Restoration of Historic Buildings and Sites" of the University of Cyprus. Testing was carried out by staff of the Building Materials and LEDRA Laboratories of the University of Cyprus and by a civil engineering student (Marios Georgiou) of the graduate program.
