Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology

Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology (XAUAT) is one of China's eight historic institutions specializing in architecture, civil and environmental engineering. It was once a key university directly overseen by the former Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. Located in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, its roots can be traced back to Peiyang University, founded in 1895. During the nationwide restructuring of China's higher education system in 1956, XAUAT was formed through the merger of the Northeast Institute of Technology, Northwest Institute of Technology, Qingdao Institute of Technology, and the civil engineering, construction, and environmental departments of the South Jiangsu Polytechnic Institute.
