    The origins of the building at Ultimo can be traced back to the Sydney Mechanical School of Arts in 1833. In 1865, the Mechanical School of Arts introduced the first course of vocational education in Mechanical Drawing. Building A, which was the original site of the Technical College, is designed in the Romanesque Revival style. Its walls are decorated with stone carvings of Australian flora and fauna which were designed by the French artist Lucien Henry. Turner Hall was designed in the Queen Anne Style and was originally intended for Sydney Girls' High School. Inside the stairwell, there are four coloured stained glass windows depicting various industries: architecture, printing, commerce, and engineering. The College started as an adjunct to the School of Arts but was soon taken over by the colonial government. It moved to its new headquarters in Ultimo in 1891. The Technical College grew out what was then the Technical and Working Men's College. The location in Ultimo was also home to many other institutions at the time such as the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), University of New South Wales (UNSW), and Sydney Boys High School before they moved to new locations. The Ultimo site also hosted the Technology Museum. It opened in 1893 and was a popular attraction. In 1988, the Technological Museum moved into the old Ultimo Powerhouse and was renamed the Powerhouse Museum. The college played a big role in World War One in the retraining of returned service personnel by offering repatriation courses to disabled services personnel. Since the war, Sydney TAFE has grown by offering training and courses for technicians and in areas such as dental care, biomedical and office administration. Courses for development in individual talent, leisure courses, and special programs to help students overcome difficulties in various areas have experienced great growth. Sydney Technical College transformed into the Sydney Institute of Technology, and then in 2000, TAFE NSW - Sydney Institute. TAFE Sydney has been commemorating its 125-year vibrant history by providing free guided history tours. TAFE NSW has grown to have over 500, 000 enrolments.
