New York City College of Technology (NYCCT), called New York City Technical College prior to 2002 and nicknamed City Tech, is the largest four-year technical school in the northeastern United States, and one of four colleges within the City University of New York (CUNY) system to grant within the same institution both associate's and bachelor's degrees (The others are the College of Staten Island, Medgar Evers College, and John Jay College). Located in the Borough of Brooklyn, City Tech boasts an enrollment of over 13,000 students in 43 vocational programs including several engineering technology fields as well as construction, nursing, hospitality management, dental hygiene career and technology teacher training and paralegal training, including specialized certification programs, two-year technical programs, and four-year baccalaureate programs. Non-degree continuing education is also offered.
City Tech is one of the oldest institutions in the CUNY system, tracing its history to 1881 when Voorhees Technical Institute was founded in Brooklyn. City Tech merged with Voorhees in 1971 shortly after the school was placed under the CUNY jurisdiction.

Namm building houses most of the classrooms and labs for general studies such as Physics, Math, English, etc. Its height is 11 floors, and its address is 300 Jay Street. Pearl building houses classrooms and labs for health science, chemistry, and biology. Its height is 6 floors, and its entrance is on Adams Street.
Atrium connects the Namm building with the Pearl and General Buildings. It houses Graphic Labs, the Bookstore, the Library, learning center and some classrooms. At the north end, facing Tillary Street, it has a slanted glass roof.

Klitgord is scheduled to be replaced with a new building, containing a large amount of additional classroom and laboratory space, as well as a new gymnasium and theatre facility. The building is designed by famed architect Renzo Piano. The land where the current building sits will also have residential towers developed by Forest City Ratner.
