Lawrence Technological University is all about taking abstract ideas into the real world to solve tomorrow’s problems. LTU was born 90 years ago in the middle of an innovation explosion that would change the world. Henry and Edsel Ford helped launch the revolutionary experiment that would become LTU, providing guidance and space in their sprawling former Model T assembly plant for the fledgling school. The University was founded on the principle that every person should have the opportunity for a college education; students and alumni have gone on to design and engineer the tools, buildings, and products that helped define their generations.
