King Edward Technical College is a former technical college in Dunedin, New Zealand. The college was established in 1889 as the Dunedin Technical School when the Caledonian Society of Otago instigated night education classes.[1]
By 1955 the college was the largest secondary school in the country, this was short lived as the institution's tertiary and secondary arms were split into Otago Polytechnic in 1966 and King Edward High School—later Logan Park High School in 1974.
The college's former buildings, including the main block now known as King Edward Court, are registered as category 1 with Heritage New Zealand. King Edward Court was sold into private ownership and since then has provided commercial rental spaces.
