History

City Tech was founded in 1946 as The New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences. The urgent mission at the time was to provide training to GIs returning from the Second World War and to provide New York with the technically proficient workforce it would need to thrive in the emerging post-war economy. No one in 1946 could have predicted the transformation the College has experienced. From its beginnings as an Institute--to being chartered as a community college--and subsequently transitioning to senior college status during the 1980s--it has grown from serving 246 students in 1946, to a population today of more than 30,000 degree and non-degree seeking students.

o 1965 - Voorhees Technical Institute first begins accepting female students.

Campus

City Tech occupies nine buildings within Downtown Brooklyn's Tech Triangle, MetroTech BID and DUMBO. College Administration and Offices, the Ursula C. Schwerin Library, the School of Professional Studies, and the School of Arts & Sciences are primarily based in a complex formed by the Namm, Atrium, General, and Pearl buildings in MetroTech (300 Jay Street). The School of Technology & Design is primarily based in Voorhees Hall in DUMBO with Graphic Arts based in the MetroTech Complex.

In October, 2013, City Tech held a ceremonial groundbreaking to mark the construction of a new 350,000 square foot academic complex at the corner of Tillary and Jay Streets in Downtown Brooklyn. The new complex will rise on the site formerly occupied by Klitgord Center.

The new eight-story academic complex, which is currently unnamed, will be home to City Tech's expanding programs in healthcare and the sciences. The departments that will be moved into the new building include the core sciences: Physics, Chemistry and Biological Sciences (including Biomedical Informatics). It will also be home to the health programs: Nursing, Radiologic Technology & Medical Imaging, Dental Hygiene, Restorative Dentistry, and Vision Care Technology. Included in the plans is a 1,000-seat concert hall quality auditorium, which when opened will be the largest of its kind in Downtown Brooklyn. A wellness center and faculty office space will also be located in the new space.
