The article studies the peculiarities of spiritual and educational activity as well as architectural and planning arrangement of spiritual educational institutions of western (Catholic) and eastern (Orthodox) types, illustrates the search of a unifying concept of a spiritual and educational institution of Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, presents the main factors which have influenced the formation of architecture of a modern centre for theological education at UGCC. Throughout the years of predominance of an official atheistic ideology in Ukraine, spiritual and educational centres were neither designed nor built. The ancient layer of spiritual schools, which had cherished Ukrainian literature, culture, Christian morality and the basics of social order of Ukrainian society, was not being researched. Nowadays there is a pressing need in such centres, in studying the spiritual as well as architectural and artistic rules of their designing. The research of architecture of spiritual and educational institutions development of Ukrainian Christian churches of the western and eastern ritual help to define the main concept and principles of architectural and planning arrangement of a modern spiritual and educational centre of Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The aim of the research is to highlight the problems of forming the architecture of a modern spiritual and architectural centre of Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church as a synthesis of functional and planning concepts of spiritual educational institutions of western and eastern types. Political, ideological, spiritual, functional, natural and climatic as well as economic factors greatly influence the formation of a planning structure and architectural image of a new educational centre as an institution for spiritual education of Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. Therefore, the concept of architectural image and architectural and planning arrangement of such a centre is close to the institutions for spiritual education of both western and eastern types. Such approach is reflected clearly in the complex of buildings of the Centre for higher theological education at UGCC in the city of Lviv at Khutorivka street, which was being built during 2003–2008 (architects: Ye. Datsyshyn, Yu. Horalevych, R. Stotsko, Yu. Verkhola, O. Khamar, I. Khamar). Having absorbed all the experience of spiritual and educational activity of similar institutions of the western (Catholicism) and the eastern (Orthodoxy) types, a number of Greek Catholic spiritual and educational institutions (theological seminary, theological university, monasteries-studentates) have created a united educational complex within one architectural and planning structure where legally independent spiritual and educational institutions follow a single spiritually-ideological and educational doctrine. When it comes to architectural aspect, such approach has been reflected in the location of institutions on the same territory, joint usage of sacral and educational buildings, common architectural image of the buildings of each separate educational institutions, recreational territories and small architectural forms, in solving daily administrative problems of a whole complex with the help of a common administrative buildings block (boiler room, garages, workshops, laundry rooms, warehouses etc.). A newly-created complex is located in Lviv and has become a powerful centre of theological education in the Western Ukraine.
