History

The university was founded during the Qing Dynasty in 1907 when it was firstly named Jingshi (Peking) Elementary Industrial School. The school changed its name in 1933 to Beiping Municipal Senior Vocational School before the Civil Engineering Division was established in 1936. Approved by the State Council in 1977, the school became the public university and as the first university in Beijing who resumed the bachelor's degree courses, it was renamed as Beijing College of Construction and Engineering. In 1982, the college was identified as the first batch of the national bachelor degree-granting college followed by the national master degree-granting universities in 1986 and the university was renamed as the Beijing University of Architecture and Engineering. In 2011, the university joined Excellent Engineers Training Education Program hosted by Beijing Ministry of Education and in 2012, the university was approved as a doctoral talent training project to serve the special needs of the country due to Theory and Technology of Architectural Heritage Protection. Then the university was approved by the Ministry of Education to be renamed as Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture in April 2013.

In 2014, it was approved to set up a post-doctoral research mobile station of "Architecture". In October 2015, the Government and the Ministry of Housing, Urban and Rural Construction signed a co-construction agreement to approve that the school officially entered the ranks of "Provincial Co-construction Universities".
