To meet the needs of ever-growing expansion of the University, a new campus is now under construction. The University grew out of the previous East-China Textile Institute of Science and Technology founded in 1951 and changed its name into China Textile University ( CTU ) in 1985 to adapt to the development of China's textile industry as well as the University itself. Approved by the Ministry of Education, the University changed its name once again to Donghua University ( DHU ) in August 1999, which indicates that it has developed from a single disciplinary educational institution to a comprehensive one.
