伊利诺伊理工学院（IIT）是在部长Frank Wakely Gunsaulus布道后成立的，他说如果他有100万美元，他将用这笔钱在芝加哥创办一所学校，在那里，来自各种背景的学生，而不仅仅是富人，都能接受教育，使他们成为有用的社会贡献者
贡萨卢斯的布道启发了老菲利普·丹福斯·阿莫尔，他是一位实业家，在肉类包装行业向美国军队出售食品发了财。Armour捐赠了100万美元，成立了Armour研究所。印度理工学院成立于1940年，当时装甲学院与刘易斯学院合并。刘易斯学院提供的文科课程补充了Armour的工程和科学教学
如今，印度理工学院是一所专注于技术的私立研究型大学，可容纳约8000名学生，学习工程、科学、建筑、商业、设计、人文科学、应用技术和法律等一系列本科生和研究生课程。这所大学也是高度国际化的，有很大一部分研究生来自国外，许多本科生被归类为国际学生
IIT在芝加哥地区有五个独立的校区，其中最主要的是占地120英亩的Mies校区，因其美丽的设计和建筑而被命名为国家历史地标。密斯也是宿舍、兄弟会和女生联谊会以及学生体育和休闲设施的所在地。市中心校区大楼是法学院和商学院的所在地。
The Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) was founded after the minister Frank Wakely Gunsaulus gave a sermon saying if he had $1 million he would use it to found a Chicago school where students from all backgrounds, not just the wealthy, would be able to receive an education that would make them useful contributing members of society.
Gunsaulus sermon inspired Philip Danforth Armour, Sr. an industrialist who had made a fortune in the meatpacking industry selling food to the US army. Armour donated $1 million and the Armour Institute was established. IIT was founded in 1940 when the Armour Institute merged with the Lewis Institute. The liberal arts programs on offer at the Lewis Institute complemented the engineering and science-based teaching available at Armour.
Today IIT is a private research university, focused on technology, which caters to around 8,000 students studying a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in engineering, science, architecture, business, design, human sciences, applied technology, and law. The university is also highly international with a large proportion graduate students coming from abroad and many undergraduates classified as international.
IIT has five separate campuses in the Chicago area, the main one is Mies Campus, which covers 120 acres, and has been named a National Historic Landmark due to its beautiful design and architecture. Mies is also home to residential halls, fraternity and sorority houses and student sports and leisure facilities. The Downtown Campus building houses the colleges of law and business.
