  • Toshima Ecomusee Town
    Toshima Ecomusee Town Integrazione estetica The City hall building is designed as a tree. The ECO VEIL which surrounds the building like leaves has various functions and has adopted a role as a new symbol representing Toshima ward. Panels and modules of the ECO VEIL separate the big building into a human scale and integrates the building into the town. The design of the external appearance responds to various trees along the “Green Road” between Ikebukuro station and the city building and continues the landscape of the town. “EcoMusee” provides a green city landscape with the ECO VEIL and reproduces “Toshima forest” on the roof terrace of the building. Integrazione energetica “Environmental city hall leading environmental measure” is symbol for Toshima ward’s goal of “development of an environmental city”. The building creates green-rich space for inhabitants and actively adopts environmental technology including photovoltaics, natural lighting, eco-lighting, water circulation system using rainwater harvesting, and a district heating and cooling system. As a result of these environmental efforts, the CO2 emission of the city hall area is reduced by more than 30% compared to the former city hall. The total amount of installed PV power from the entire ECO VEIL is 57kWp and is sold through the FIT feed-in-tariff programme. The total installed PV power on the roof and balcony of the upper residential area is 77kWp and is consumed in the residential common area. Intergazione tecnologica Together with different kinds of panels (glass panes, wall greening, wooden louvres), the ECO VEIL adopts two type of PV technologies, monocrystalline silicon and amorphous silicon, for appealing diversity and excellent design.

  • Kogakuin-Uni Information 2018.Pdf
    Message from the President Message from Message from the President Let Infinite Possibilities Bloom What do you think society seeks from future technicians and researchers? The answer is not apparent by merely looking at the present. That is because science and technology continue to advance. Having your own dreams is the first step that leads to society’s evolution. Please be sure to dream big. Even if your dreams aren’t realistic, that’s okay, since marvelous growth doubtless waits at the end of efforts to make your splendid dreams a reality. Society has long valued our alumni highly, particularly for their creativity. Our unique education process greatly affects those outcomes. Our role is to support your self-fulfillment by providing opportunities to understand the nature of things through hands-on experience, including project- based learning, working out tasks in practical ways, and encountering various phenomena through experiments and training. We also offer internships to acquaint technicians and researchers with the attributes that are needed, as well as club activities, student projects, and other extracurricular activities. Kogakuin University will continue growing together with students. Our goal is to provide core support for Japan as a scientific and technological nation by producing technicians and researchers who can solve problems through the power of science and technology. As specific measures toward that end, we established the School of Advanced Engineering in 2015—the first university in Japan to do so—and reorganized our Faculty of Informatics in 2016. This sort of expansion of studies into new regions is based on the spirit of artisanship that has been passed down since the university was founded.
