Bloxburg Valley Polytechnic State University, commonly referred to as Blox Poly is a public university in Santa Clarax, Bloxburg Valley. It is one of two polytechnics in the Bloxburg Valley State University System. It's motto is "Disce Per Facere" which means "Learn By Doing" in English. They prioritize hands on learning over conventional textbook education, which has made them somewhat popular in recent years.
History
Establishment
Following the Robloxian Economic Collapse, President Franklin D. Roblovelt introduced the New Blox Deal which, among other things, created three new polytechnic universities, designed to help put struggling Robloxians to work. The construction of the first campus, the Bloxburg Valley Polytechnic School, began in 1936, with it opening its doors for the first time in the fall of 1938. The construction of the school employed nearly 6,000 Robloxians and many enrolled at the school following it's completion.
Early Years and Growth (1936-1988)
Throughout it's early years, Blox Poly served primarily as architecture school. The famous Sacramento Bay Bridge was designed and built by students during the early 1950s. The school also received several very generous donations, including a 150 Million R$ donation from it's alumni association in 1972. The school saw growth both in attendance and land size, as the campus size tripled between 1951 and 1983.
At the 1988 Roblox Educators Conference meeting, discussion of promoting the school to university status began and the school officially became a university in 1991.
Independent Review (1992)
On May 30th, 1992, shortly after finishing it's spring semester, the Independent Revenue Group requested permission to perform an independent audit on the finances for the school. While they did not have the cleanest books, seeing as it would be a worse look to ignore the request, they fully complied. The review found that while there were minor mistakes throughout the management of funding for the school (mostly returning a few extra robux to some students during refund season), they found no major signs of intentional malpractice and awarded the school a Silver Star for it's financial responsibility grading.
Application to Roblox University Group (2008)
In March of 2008, Blox Poly applied to join the Roblox University Group(RUG). While there were no major issues with the financial standing with the school, RUG held their previous silver rating from the IRG, referring them to re apply in 2018. In 2018, however, they did not meet the requirements reapply as a Public Engineering University. As of 2026, Blox Poly has a new active application which is expected to approved later this year.
Modern Era (2010-Present)
Following their failed application 2008, they began restructuring the school to focus in heavily on it's architecture and engineering programs, in hopes of joining the RUG as a Public Engineering University. Blox Poly became extremely selective with it's engineering and architecture majors and successful applicants typically had grades and standardized test scores significantly above average.
As of 2026, Blox Poly has over 26,000 enrolled students including nearly 11,000 engineering majors and over 8,000 architecture majors.
