Manchester Municipal Technical School
1892 Manchester Corporation took on the funding of the Technical School, partly from national taxes, and it came to be known as the Manchester Municipal Technical School.
1902 Opened [1]. The school was modelled on the German technical high schools. A huge new building, now called the Sackville Street Building, was opened in 1902.
The increasingly high standards of education and the beginnings of research at the technical college raised questions about its relationship with the newly independent Victoria University of Manchester, which had its own department of engineering.
1905 It was agreed that the professors at the College of Technology would constitute the Faculty of Technology of the Victoria University and the students could take Victoria University degrees.
Post WWI the Technical School was renamed the Manchester Municipal College of Technology.
