Established in 2015, the school is situated within the Grade II listed building of the restored former Springfield Brewery, which dates back to 1873.

Thomas Telford UTC offers a variety of programs including GCSE, BTEC, A-Levels, and T-Levels, with a specialisation in construction and the application of IT in the Built Environment.

This support includes the provision of equipment, resources, as well as organising events, talks, training sessions, and placement opportunities for students.

[4] In 2014, the University of Wolverhampton acquired the derelict 11.3-acre Grade II listed Springfield Brewery site, with the aim of establishing a construction and built environment super-campus within a two-year timeframe.

In addition, the school was rebranded as Thomas Telford University Technical College (UTC) and changed its student age range from 14-19s to 11-19s.
