The school was established in 1820 as one of the first providers of free
education in New York City. In 1858, after the public education system was
introduced, the Mechanics Institute recognized a need for advancing the
education of those with work obligations. The Institute is the oldest
privately endowed technical school in New York City and claims more than
150,000 alumni.
Today, the Mechanics Institute provides a unique service to
the building and construction industry emphasizing the need to understand
essential business skills. All Mechanics Institute instructors are masters
in their trades or professions, working at their craft during daytime hours
and teaching knowledge-driven classes at night. Their expertise gives the
students first-hand instruction from qualified teachers with on-the-job
experience.
