Location

The Tokushima University Industrial Hall has been completed in a quiet residential area on the northeast corner of the Tokushima University Joshijima Campus. The large roof, shaped like a graceful wing, represents the symbolism of the Alumni Hall and the image of the university being open to the local community. It gives the impression of a bird resting its wings and ready to fly out at any moment. The roof symbolizes both a shelter for raising chicks and a place where the memories of graduates can be passed down.
