The College of Science and Technology (CST) building complex, located in Tudun Wada area of Kaduna metropolis, was donated by the British Government and officially commissioned on 21st November 1968 by the then British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Sir David Hunt. The College initially had five (5) departments, but by 1990, departments within the College had grown to fourteen (14). The large size of the College, in terms of infrastructure and students population necessitated the creation of the College of Engineering out of the College of Science and Technology.
