In 1977 the Central Laboratory of Biomechanics and the mechanics departments of the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics were incorporated in the Institute of Mechanics and Biomechanics. It was renamed in 1993 to become the Institute of Mechanics. Since 1987, the Institute is housed in its own self-contained building.
