1952年，在美國經濟援助的支持下，政府開始實施五個四年經濟建設計劃。前兩個階段涉及勞動密集型OEM和輕工業出口行業。這兩個階段之後，台灣的出口迅速增長，為台灣的經濟發展奠定了基礎。台灣教育部結合經濟和產業建設的發展，在美國政府的協助和指導下，推動了一系列改革政策。這些政策旨在解決對更高技術人力的需求。其中包括從日本到美國的高等教育體系的轉變，從中國大陸引進的國立大學的重建，私立大學和學院的建立，以及技術和職業學校的改革……等等。由於這些政策而建造的建築物形成了 1945 年至 1970 年獨特的教育建築歷史。（全文請見《實構築季刊》14期）

In 1952, with the support of the US economic aid, the government began to implement five four-year economic construction plans. The early two stages involve labor-intensive OEM and light industrial exports industries. Taiwan's exports increased rapidly after those two phases laying the foundation for Taiwan's economic development. In conjunction with the development of economic and industrial construction, the Ministry of Education of Taiwan promoted a series of reform policies with the assistance and instruction of the US government. These policies were aimed at solving the demand for higher technical manpower. They included the transformation from a Japanese to a U.S. based higher education system, the re-establishment of national universities imported from mainland China, the establishment of private universities and colleges, and the reform of technical and vocational schools, …etc. The buildings built as a result of these policies formed a unique history of educational architecture from 1945 to 1970.
