Summary

Sydney Technical College was established in 1878, taking the place of the Sydney Mechanics Institute. In 1949 the New South Wales University of Technology operated from the College's campus before moving to its own campus in Kensington. The Sydney Technical College later hatched the New South Wales Institute of Technology, which became the University of Technology Sydney. The College continued to operate, eventually becoming the Ultimo Campus of TAFE New South Wales.
