History

Anhui Jianzhu University was founded in 1958.

In September 1958, in support of Anhui province, 324 teachers and students of Suzhou Construction Engineering School and four teachers from Shenyang Planned Economy School came to Hefei. Jointly with 179 teachers and students in the cadre training class of the Anhui Provincial Construction Department, the Anhui Construction Engineering School was formed in DongChenGang of Hefei city.^[2][3]

In September 1960, the department of civil engineering of Hefei University of Technology was incorporated into the school, and the Anhui Institute of Architecture and Industry was founded.^[4]

In 1961, Anhui Institute of Architecture and Industry was revoked, and Anhui Construction Engineering School was reserved. In August 1964, Anhui Construction Engineering School moved to Lingdatang, Hefei. In 1971, the school moved to Jinzhai Road.

In March 1983, the construction branch of Hefei University of Technology was established. On 30 December 1986, Anhui Institute of Architecture and Industry was restored.

In 2003, a new campus was built in the Hefei Economic & Technological Development Area (HETDA). In 2013, Anhui Institute of Architecture and Industry was renamed Anhui Jianzhu University.^[5]
