In the following year (1900) the teaching of the field of machine engineering was started and followed by cultural engineering (landscaping), electrical engineering, and chemical engineering. After World War I it was also possible to study architecture. In 1911 the university was moved into a newly built luxurious building in Veveří Street which is still used by the Faculty of Civil Engineering. In the interwar period, it was connected with the German Technical University and was renamed the Brno University of Technology. The school has used the name of the University of Technology of Dr. E.

After the war, the school was reopened under the older name the University of Technology of Dr. E. Benes. The school was ceased to exist in 1951; some parts were transferred to the newly established Military Technical Academy. The only faculties that provided civilian training remained the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture Faculty, both under the name College of Engineering. Already in 1956, the university activity was gradually restored under the present name Brno University of Technology. Today's appearance was more or less stabilized in 1961. After 1989 there was a reorganization of certain faculties and the emergence of many new ones. There was restored The Faculty of Chemistry (1992) and in addition to the technical fields, BUT focused on the economy (Faculty of Business founded in 1992) and arts (Faculty of Fine Arts, founded in 1993).

The most recent significant organizational change is the splitting of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication and the Faculty of Information Technology which occurred in 2002. Most of the BUT buildings are now located in the area under Palacky Hill in the city district Kralovo Pole. There are the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Business, Faculty of Chemistry, and a new building of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication as well as two college campuses. Faculty of Information Technology is located in a former Carthusian monastery in Bozetechova Street and the new complex across the street. The Faculty of Civil Engineering is located in an extensively reconstructed building on Veveri Street. Faculty of Architecture is located on Porici Street, Faculty of Fine Arts on Udolni Street. BUT also uses the third college campus in Kounicova Street. Rector's Offices are located in a newly renovated Baroque building in Antoninska Street. In more than 120 years BUT has matured into an internationally recognized institution offering education in a broad spectrum of fields ranging from technical and scientific disciplines through economics to the arts.

Authorities

The head of the university is the rector who is represented by five prorectors in various fields of activity. Financial matters of BUT are in the hands of the bursar, communication and promotion is the business of the public relations officer in cooperation with the Unit of external relations. Important documents and guidelines are discussed and approved by the Academic Senate which consisted of an employee and a student chamber. The scientific direction of BUT determines the Scientific Council, acting as BUT experts, other universities, and industry. Each of the faculty is governed by the dean and his vice-deans. Also, the faculties have their academic senates which deal exclusively with the laws of the faculties. Similarly, the faculties have their scientific council. There are several student organizations in BUT, for historical reasons called the Student Unions. Each Faculty has its student chamber which represents students in the Academic Senate - students have the opportunity to participate in the management of their faculty. * Rectorate — prof. RNDr. Ing. Petr Štěpánek, CSc., dr. h. c. * The Academic Senate — current ''chairman of the senate'' is doc. Dr. Ing. Petr Hanáček. * Bursar — doc. Ing. Ladislav Janíček, Ph.D., MBA, LL.M. is the university ''
