The West Technical College (Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Colegiul Tehnic de Vest) is a high school in Timișoara. It was founded in 1946 as a school for civil, industrial and agricultural constructions. It suffered numerous name changes since, but kept its profile as an industrial and construction-oriented institution. From 2018 onward, it is known as the West Technological High School (Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Liceul Tehnologic de Vest).[2] Currently, it is the only high school in Timiș County with a construction profile in which plumbers, masons, electricians, builders, carpenters, joiners and painters are trained.[3]
The building that houses the high school is located in the site of historical monuments called Old Iosefin and was built in 1946 for school purposes.[4] Between 2013 and 2017, the building also housed the city's High School of Fine Arts.[5]
