Senshu University Kanda Campus Building No.10
140th Anniversary Hall

The area extending from Tokyo’s Kanda Surugadai to Jimbocho (Kanda Jimbocho) is often referred to as the Latin Quarter of Japan, with many universities located in the vicinity. One block over from Yasukuni-Dori Street, lies the Kanda Campus of Senshu University. The new high-rise building was proposed as a central component of the campus restructuring plan, marking the school’s 140th-anniversary.
Following the wave of campus relocations to the suburbs during Japan’s post-economic growth period, universities have recently been moving back to the city center to keep up with the pace of globalization and information society, and ensuring student numbers amidst falling birthrates. Based on Senshu University’s future vision, the campus’s reorganization was considered, centering on the relocation of faculties from Kanagawa Prefecture’s Ikuta Campus and the establishment of a new department for human resource development in a global society.
