Nottingham and District - Technical College

            The Postcard

A postally unused Newcolour Series postcard published by E.T.W. Dennis & Sons Ltd. of London and Scarborough. The card was printed in Great Britain.

The Nottingham and District Technical College was established. in 1945. It subsequently became part of Nottingham Trent University.

The Newton Building

The Grade II* listed building in the photograph, known as the Newton Building, is now home to the Nottingham Business School which is part of the university. 

The building was designed by Cecil Howitt in 1952 and built between 1956 and 1958.  It is a good example of Cecil Howitt's later work, showing the Modernist idea of the "slab and podium" translated into a classical manner. 

From the look of the parked cars, the photograph was taken soon after the building was constructed.

Nottingham Trent University

Nottingham Trent University was formed by the amalgamation of many separate institutions of higher education. It originated from the Nottingham Government School of Design which was founded in 1843.

In 1958, Nottingham Regional College of Technology opened, and in 1959, the Nottingham College of Education began at Clifton. 

In 1964, Nottingham Regional College was opened, and in 1966, the original Nottingham College of Design was linked with the Regional College. Together they merged and the institution was upgraded to Polytechnic status in 1970 to become 'Trent Polytechnic'. In 1975, it amalgamated with Nottingham College of Education.

Under the Further and Higher Education Act of 1992, all Polytechnics and some higher education colleges became eligible for full university status; at this point, the institution officially became 'Nottingham Trent University'.

Nottingham Trent was awarded the 2017 Times Higher Education University of the Year, the 2019 Guardian University of the Year and the Modern University of the Year by the Sunday Times in 2017. 

It is the 13th largest university in the UK (out of 167) with 29,000 students split over four different campuses.
