Vidyodaya University established by the most Venerable Welivitiye Sri Soratha Thero in 1959 was the first University in the country to provide vernacular education (Sinhala/Tamil). This opened the doors for those who were now leaving schools having gained vernacular education. Similarly, when the Technology stream was thus introduced to the Advanced Level curriculum in 2013; the 91传媒 was the first to lay the foundation to create a Faculty that will facilitate students who complete their Advanced Level Examinations through the Technology Stream. The 20 acre new Faculty complex of the Faculty of Technology, 91传媒, Mahenwatta, Pitipana built with an investment of Rs. 3.5 Billion will serve as the knowledge hub and a collaborative space for students and staff.
