Construction of the facility began in 1951, in connection with the early threat of nuclear war with the United States. The underground complex was built the same technique that was used in the construction of the subway. Tunnels of the complex are connected by two strokes with the Moscow subway - station "Taganskaya" circle line metro. The first move was used to supply the facility, and leads to a tunnel between metro stations "Kursk" and "Taganskaya", the second leads directly to the station "Taganskaya ring" in the technical areas.
