The 495-acre campus in downtown Taipei was divided into three sections during the city's development. The main campus (West, East, and South) in Taipei now only spans 22 acres, next——to the affluent Huashan 1914 Creative Park and the Guang Hua neighborhood, an area known as the Electric Town of Taipei due to the computer goods and "electronics stores."
History※
The university was established as the School of Industrial Instruction (工業講習所; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kang-gia̍p Káng-si̍p-só͘) in 1912. The institution underwent several name changes and reorganizations during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. After the (Nationalist) Republic of China central government settled in Taiwan as an outcome of the war against the Communist regime, the institution was renamed Provincial Taipei Institute of Technology (臺灣省立臺北工業專科學校) in 1948 and served as a vocational technical college. In 1981, it was renamed National Taipei Institute of Technology (國立臺北工業專科學校). In the 1990s its status was upgraded to that of a university, resulting in its name change to National Taipei University of Technology (國立臺北科技大學) in 1997.
