University of Technology Sydney#Sport

The Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (the oldest continuously running Mechanics' Institute in Australia) was established in 1833.{{cite web |url = http://dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/sydney_mechanics_school_of_arts |title = Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts |author = Dictionary of Sydney staff writer |date = 2008 |work = Dictionary of Sydney |publisher = Dictionary of Sydney Trust |access-date = 27 January 2015 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402124255/http://www.dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/sydney_mechanics_school_of_arts |archive-date = 2 April 2015 }} In the 1870s, the school expanded into technical education and formed the Working Men's College, which was later taken over by the NSW government to form the Sydney Technical College.{{cite web |url = http://dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/sydney_technical_college |title = Sydney Technical College |author = Catherine Freyne |date = 2010 |work = Dictionary of Sydney |publisher = Dictionary of Sydney Trust |access-date = 27 January 2015 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150426114930/http://dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/sydney_technical_college |archive-date = 26 April 2015 }}

In 1940 the NSW Parliament passed an Act to establish an Institute of Technology, which in 1964 led to the establishment of the New South Wales Institute of Technology (NSWIT). In 1968, the NSW Institute of Technology amalgamated with the NSW Institute of Business Studies. In 1976 NSWIT established the first law school in NSW outside the university sector. The Haymarket campus officially opened in 1985.

On 8 October 1987 university status was granted to NSWIT, which was followed by the passing of the University of Technology, Sydney, Act 1987. It was reconstituted as the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) on 26 January 1988, along with the incorporation of the School of Design of the former Sydney College of the Arts. In 1989, the University of Technology, Sydney, Act 1989 (NSW) formed UTS by absorbing the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education (KCAE) and the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education (ITATE) of the Sydney College of Advanced Education. By 1991, an academic structure of nine faculties and 25 schools was established.

The School of Design was initially housed at a campus in Balmain, which closed at the end of 1994, with the school moved to a new building at the city campus.{{cite news | url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/120598427/ | title=UTS School of Design Open Day | work=Sydney Morning Herald | date=17 August 1993 | access-date=11 January 2019 | archive-date=11 January 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111180857/https://www.newspapers.com/image/120598427/ | url-status=live }}{{cite web | url=https://opus.lib.uts.edu.au/bitstream/10453/23790/1/EngineeringHandbook1994.pdf | title=1994 Engineering Handbook | publisher=University of Technology Sydney | access-date=11 January 2019 | archive-date=30 March 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330015400/https://opus.lib.uts.edu.au/bitstream/10453/23790/1/EngineeringHandbook1994.pdf | url-status=live }} The environmental, biological and biomedical science schools were located on a campus at St Leonards, which was closed in 2006, which also relocated to the city campus following a redevelopment.{{cite web | url=https://opus.lib.uts.edu.au/bitstream/10453/23835/1/ScienceHandbook1998.pdf | title=1998 Science Handbook | publisher=University of Technology Sydney | access-date=11 January 2019 | archive-date=30 March 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330033019/https://opus.lib.uts.edu.au/bitstream/10453/23835/1/ScienceHandbook1998.pdf | url-status=live }}{{cite web | url=http://handbook.uts.edu.au/cal/pdfs/2006-calendar.pdf | title=2006 UTS Calendar | publisher=University of Technology Sydney | access-date=11 January 2019 | archive-date=11 January 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111121640/http://handbook.uts.edu.au/cal/pdfs/2006-calendar.pdf | url-status=live }}

The Kuring-Gai campus closed at the end of 2015, with classes and facilities moved into the main Haymarket campus. This marked the consolidation of UTS into a single unified campus in the Sydney CBD.{{cite web|url=http://newsroom.uts.edu.au/news/2015/09/uts-celebrates-new-beginning-its-kuring-gai-campus|title=UTS celebrates a new beginning for its Kuring-gai campus|website=UTS Newsroom|date=3 September 2015|access-date=11 January 2019|archive-date=11 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111175312/http://newsroom.uts.edu.au/news/2015/09/uts-celebrates-new-beginning-its-kuring-gai-campus|url-status=live}}
