The building used to be called the Collegium Chemicum, as it lent its premises to the Faculty of Chemistry, and is now known as Kolegium Olszewskiego.
Karol Olszewski, together with Zygmunt Wróblewski, were the first people to liquefy air (1883). Olszewski was for a long time the Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry, and the most extraordinary and inquisitive researcher. As a scientist, he even studied his own death throes, keeping notes in real-time. They break in mid-word, ending in a sudden line running down the page: a proof of their being written right until the moment of the scientist’s death. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karol_Olszewski)
