Due to the increase in the number of students of the Gevorkian Theological Seminary, the blessed Patriarch Karekin I initiated the construction of a new dormitory building for the seminarians.
On October 4 in 1997, the foundation blessing of the new residency being built for the students of the seminary was held in the Mother See, the architect of which is Artsrun Galikyan. This three-story residency is designed for about 120 students. The number of rooms reaches 60. There are two rooms in each entrance. The dormitory building was commissioned in 2000. From 2006 to 2007 it was partially renovated.
