History[]
The Institute of Gas Technology had been founded in 1941 at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT).[1]
The Gas Research Institute was founded in 1976 by the federal government.[2] It was funded by a tax on interstate shipments of natural gas[3]
In 2000, the tax that funded the Gas Research Institute was phased out. The Institute of Gas Technology and the Gas Research Institute combined to form the Gas Technology Institute.[4]
In 2006, the IIT building that formerly housed the institute became home to Shimer College, which took up residence there after moving from Waukegan.[5]
