The building began use as a school again in 1900, offering classes in chemistry, assaying, engineering, art and design, woodwork, and metalwork. This was expanded upon in 1905 as the newly formed Perth Technical School was formally affiliated with the University of Adelaide to offer undergraduate courses in mathematics, physics, science, chemistry, geology, mineralogy, botany, and later biology. In order for the school to handle a large number of students, a new technical facility was purpose-built to the west of the original building, and opened in 1910. The curriculum was expanded to include blacksmithing, carpentry, engine-driving, fitting and turning, plumbing, commercial studies, pharmacy and surveying. Perth Technical School's partnership with the University of Adelaide came to an end in 1914 with the establishment of the University of Western Australia. (Supplied: oneperth)
