history
In 1918 the engineering school of the Estonian Engineering Society was founded because the country did not have its own engineering education. In 1919 the engineering school became a private college and in 1920 the state took over the institution. Since 1936 "Tallinn Technical Institute", albeit with university status, the college became a technical university in 1938.
There are several sculptures and monuments on the site. The eternal student Julius , unveiled in 2008, is striking in front of the university entrance. The Seebeck memorial was inaugurated in 2013 .
