History

• The university traces its origin to the modernisation programme of Otumfuo Agyeman Prempeh I, the Asantehene who wanted a university in Kumasi, a plan frustrated by the collision between British imperial expansion and his determination to preserve Ashanti independence.该校的源头可追溯到阿散蒂国王阿吉曼·普伦佩一世的现代化计划，他希望在库马西设立一所大学，但这一设想因英国帝国扩张与国王维护阿散蒂独立的意志相冲突而未能实现。
• His younger brother and successor, Otumfuo Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh II, revived the project when he ascended the Golden Stool in 1935, turning a royal aspiration into a sustained campaign for a Kumasi university.其弟兼继任者奥塞·图图·阿吉曼·普伦佩二世于 1935 年登上金凳子后重启这一计划，把王室的愿望变成了争取在库马西办学的长期运动。
• Events in the Gold Coast during the 1940s favoured the plan, beginning with the creation of the University College of the Gold Coast and continuing with the 1948 Accra riots, whose Watson Commission recommended a university of sciences in Kumasi.20 世纪 40 年代黄金海岸的局势有利于该计划：黄金海岸大学学院先行成立，随后 1948 年阿克拉骚乱爆发，其后的沃森委员会建议在库马西设立一所理科大学。
• Construction of what was to become the Kumasi College of Technology began in 1949, converting the Prempehs' long campaign into buildings, staff and a statutory academic institution on the eastern edge of Kumasi.1949 年，日后成为库马西理工学院的教学设施动工兴建，普伦佩两代人的长期争取由此转化为库马西东郊的校舍、师资与法定学术机构。
• The Kumasi College of Technology opened officially on 22 January 1952 with 200 teacher training students transferred from Achimota College near Accra, who formed the nucleus of the new institution.库马西理工学院于 1952 年 1 月 22 日正式开学，首批 200 名师范生由阿克拉附近的阿奇莫塔学院转入，构成这所新学院的骨干。
• The 1952 opening made Kumasi the second university level institution in the Gold Coast, following the University College of the Gold Coast founded at Legon in 1948, and it was designed from the outset around science and technology.1952 年的开办使库马西成为黄金海岸第二所大学层次的机构，仅次于 1948 年在莱贡创办的黄金海岸大学学院，且从一开始就以科学与技术为办学重心。
• An act of Parliament in 1952 gave the college its legal basis, and in October of that year the School of Engineering and the Department of Commerce were established and admitted their first students.1952 年的一项议会法案赋予该学院法律地位，同年 10 月工程学院与商学系成立并招收首批学生。
• A Pharmacy Department was created in January 1953 by transferring the former School of Pharmacy from Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, and it ran a two year course leading to the Pharmacy Board Certificate.1953 年 1 月，原设于阿克拉科尔布教学医院的药学院整体迁入，组建药学系，开设两年制课程并颁发药事委员会证书。

• From 1952 to 1955 the School of Engineering prepared students only for professional qualifications, and in 1955 it began teaching courses leading to the University of London Bachelor of Engineering external degree examinations.1952 至 1955 年间，工程学院只培养职业资格，1955 年起开始讲授对接伦敦大学校外工程学士学位考试的课程。
• In 1957 the School of Architecture, Town Planning and Building was inaugurated and admitted its first students in January 1958 for a professional course, extending the college into the built environment.1957 年建筑、城市规划与营造学院成立，1958 年 1 月招收首批学生攻读职业课程，使学院的专业版图扩展到建成环境领域。
• As the college expanded it was decided to make it a purely science and technology institution, so in January 1958 the Teacher Training College, except the Art School, moved to Winneba Training College.随着规模扩大，校方决定把学院办成纯粹的科学技术机构，于是 1958 年 1 月师范部除艺术学校外整体迁往温尼巴师范学院。
• In 1959 the Commerce Department was transferred to Achimota to form the nucleus of the present School of Administration of the University of Ghana at Legon, leaving Kumasi with a sharply focused technical mission.1959 年商学系迁往阿奇莫塔，成为莱贡加纳大学现有行政学院的雏形，库马西由此确立了专注技术的办学方向。
