The building was demolished for the construction of the Technical School of Pelotas.[2]

In 1942, by means of Decree-law nº 4.127, of 25 of February, subscribed by the president Getúlio Vargas and by the minister of education Gustavo Capanema, was created the Technical School of Pelotas, destined only for men.[3][4] The Pelotan engineer Luís Simões Lopes was responsible for the school's arrival in the municipality.

It was deployed in 1953 thanks to the mobilization of the students and the support of the influential Pelotas politician Ary Alcântara, paraninfo of the first group of trainees.[1]

In 1959, ETP became a federal authority and, in 1965, it became known as the Federal Technical School of Pelotas (ETFPEL).[2]
