During Reconstruction after the Civil War in the United States, a technology school was proposed for Georgia. They needed technology to help them in competing with the industrial revolution in the North. The school originally opened in 1888 and had only two buildings. Today, it is a large school, having even gained some construction that was done for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
