Campus Facilities

SFC was the first university campus in Japan to develop and use its own integrated network system.

The Shonan Fujisawa Campus harmonizes technology and nature. Pritzker Laureate Fumihiko Maki designed the layout of the campus with the aim of preserving the existing topography and flora as much as possible, while producing the best learning environment for students. Much like an information network, educational and research facilities radiate out from the center of the campus to create a nexus linked by access ways. This framework allows individual buildings to retain their character, yet form a cohesive whole, mirroring the community of students and professors connected by SFC’s research initiatives.

1. Alpha Building

The Alpha Building is the administrative hub of the campus, where students come for information regarding classes, exams and reports. The Academic Affairs Office – which includes the Student Life and the Career Services sections – Wellness Center and deans’ offices are also located here.

2. Omega Building

Lectures for large classes are held in this building’s classrooms, each of which has a 100-inch screen for presentations.

3. Mu Building and Shonan Fujisawa Media Center

The focal point of the campus is the Mu Building, a four-story edifice that houses the Shonan Fujisawa Media Center. The center offers an extensive array of reference materials that contains more than 340,000 books, journal titles and audiovisual resources. In addition to this, it provides online services that allow students to remotely access more than 50,000 e-journals and e-books within its digital library. Students may also use the audiovisual equipment and studios at the center to prepare presentation materials for group projects and research work.

These buildings contain classrooms and research labs for faculty members.
