The sometime together with education creation of main buildings was carried out. Very quickly the main three-storied building was built. Currently the main building of ZNTU, this housed lecture rooms, physical and mechanical studies, laboratories, assembly hall and a shop selling ready-made products.

At the end of its first decade 240 people studied in the college. Graduates from the college successfully worked at machine-construction enterprises promoting the rise of the colleges reputation. It was considered to be one of the best not only in the Ukraine, but across Europe.

USSR

In 1920 the college was reorganized into Zaporizhzhia industrial technical school with four year studies (possessing some rights of high school). From November 1922 to 1930 the industrial school was the educational enterprise training engineer-mechanics for agricultural machine construction and general machine construction. Many graduates became leading industrial specialists and statesmen. In 1930 the technical school was reorganized into Zaporizhzhya Agricultural Engineering Institute training specialists in four subjects: tractor and agricultural engineering, metal treatment and foundry.

In the 10 years before the start of the World War II, 782 people got engineer's diplomas and worked at Zaporizhzhian plants.

After Zaporizhzhia German forces were driven out in 1944 Zaporizhzhia automechanical institute was organized and three years later it became Zaporizhzhia Agricultural Engineering Institute, until 1957 when it was renamed Zaporizhzhia Machine Construction Institute (ZMI). In 1980 ZMI received the Badge of Honor for the preparation of highly qualified professionals. Between 1930-1990 institute prepared 40,000 engineers, including 825 for foreign countries.

Ukraine

In August 2001 according to Ukrainian President's Decree ZSTU was awarded the status of a National institution. During 2006-2007 separate structural units: Berdyansk machine construction college, Tokmak mechanical school, Zaporizhzhia college of radio electronics, Zaporizhzhia electrotechnical college and Humanitarian college entered the university.

Computers are also used in many of university's laboratories, where laboratory equipment is combined with computers used for investigations of different algorithms and technologies. Total number of modern computers used for educational purposes equals 1430 units. Wi-Fi technologies are introduced in the university.

Besides. University leads Ukrainian high school using NTUU “KPI” cluster. Scientific supervisor of supercomputer calculation center A. Petrenko showed the application of cluster power by different organizations. According to diagram showed in this report in 2009 ZNTU used more than 15 percent processing time of NTUU “KPI” cluster.

University owns four scientific lending libraries, 8 reading halls with 454 seats.
