History

Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) has a proud tradition of learning and teaching which dates back to its foundation year in 1956 when Kaunas Polytechnic Institute established the Vilnius Evening Division. From that point forward, the evening college grew to become a fully-fledged independent university with its own charter.

Professor Aleksandras Cyras has responsibility for departments of Civil Engineering, Electrotechnics, and Applied Mechanics. Over 500 students are enrolled for study.
6 July 1961 – A further restructure establishes the KPI Vilnius Branch which has two divisions: the day-time and evening studies. Professor Cyras is appointed Vice-Rector and under his guidance student numbers continue to grow. Two new faculties are founded, comprising Manufacturing of Production Instruments and Mechanical Technologies.
In 1962 – 78 engineering specialists are the first to graduate. 
On 18 December 1962 the newly-established Scientific Council agrees on the design for a new building to accomodate the growing institution. 
1 September 1964 – a new faculty opens for business, The Faculty of Construction Economics. Four years later on 1 September 1968 the Department of Urban Construction is established.
