The Yanta campus overlooks the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda of the Tang Dynasty in the south and the world-famous ancient city wall in the Ming Dynasty to the north; the Caotang campus is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, adjacent to the thousand-year-old temple, the Caotang Temple; the Huaqing Science and Education Industrial Park is located in the Xingfu Forest Belt, Xi'an High-tech East Development Zone In the south, the beautiful Chanba Ecological Park is in the east; the two campuses and the industrial park cover a total area of more than 4,300 acres.


The school has a long history and profound background. It can be traced back to Beiyang University, which was founded in 1895. In 1956, when the colleges and departments of the country were adjusted, the former Northeast Institute of Technology, Northwest Institute of Technology, Qingdao Institute of Technology and Sunan Industrial High The college’s civil engineering, architecture, and municipal departments (divisions) were merged and formed, and accumulated the earliest batch of civil, architectural, and municipal disciplines in the history of modern higher education in China. At that time, it was named Xi’an Institute of Architecture and Engineering, which was the northwestern region of New China. The first undergraduate architecture institution of higher learning, one of the famous "Old Eight Schools" of civil engineering and architecture in China, and a key university directly under the former Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. In 1959 and 1963, the school was renamed Xi'an Institute of Metallurgy and Xi'an Institute of Metallurgy and Architecture successively; on March 8, 1994, it was renamed "Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology" with the approval of the former State Education Commission. In 1998, the school was transferred to the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government. It is currently the implementation institution of the "National High-level University Project" and the "Basic Capability Construction Project of Central and Western Universities", the key high-level universities of Shaanxi Province, Shaanxi Province and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.


After 60 years of construction and development in the combined school, the school’s strength has continued to increase, and it has become a feature of civil engineering, environmental and municipal, materials and metallurgy and related disciplines, with engineering technology as the main subject, engineering, management, art, science, and arts A multidisciplinary university with coordinated development of disciplines such as, law, philosophy, economics, and teaching. The school was awarded the "Special Contribution Award for Architectural Education" by the International Association of Architects (UIA), the "National Advanced Work Unit for Employment" by the State Council, and the School Party Committee was awarded the title of "National Advanced Primary Party Organization" by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.


   school is the first batch of units approved by the State Council to grant doctorate, master and bachelor degrees. The school has 3 former national key disciplines (structural engineering, environmental engineering, architectural design and its theory). In the fourth round of national discipline evaluation in 2016, the five disciplines of architecture, urban and rural planning, landscape architecture, civil engineering, and environmental science and engineering were B+ (top 20% in the country); materials science and engineering were B (top national level) 30%); Management Science and Engineering is B- (top 40% in the country); In November 2016, engineering entered the top 1% of ESI's global ranking. The school has a graduate school, with 9 first-level discipline doctoral programs, 7 post-doctoral mobile stations, and 25 first-level discipline master programs; it has the right to grant master's degrees in 10 categories, including 16 authorized fields for engineering masters. The doctoral program involves two disciplines, engineering and management, and the master program involves seven disciplines, including engineering, management, art, science, law, philosophy, and education, and basically covers all undergraduate majors of the school.


   There are 17 colleges in the school, 63 undergraduate majors are open to the first batch of enrollment in the country. The four majors of architecture, urban and rural planning and landscape architecture, and historical building protection engineering are five-year courses, and the other undergraduate majors are four-year courses. 9 majors including architecture, urban and rural planning, civil engineering, environmental engineering, built environment and energy application engineering, engineering management, materials science and engineering, water supply and drainage engineering, environmental design, etc. are national-level specialties, and 15 majors are provincial-level specialties Professional. 21 undergraduate majors including architecture have been approved for the construction of "first-rate majors" in Shaanxi universities. Nine undergraduate majors including architecture, civil engineering, engineering management, urban and rural planning, built environment and energy application engineering, water supply and drainage science and engineering, environmental engineering, materials science and engineering, and metallurgical engineering have successively passed the Ministry of Education professional assessment or engineering education major Certification.
