The 5 libraries in the Faculty of Engineering and the Graduate School of Engineering at Yoshida Campus are scheduled to be reorganized and relocated in 2021.

As a result, the existing five-room library will be reorganized into two rooms and a Learning Commons.

Due to the fact that preparations for relocation are under way for the reorganization of the libraries in this fiscal year, each library will be closed until at least the end of May, and the service will continue only to provide materials in the five engineering libraries through the Library of School of Architecture.

Depending on the progress of the relocation work, including the temporary relocation, the library will be opened from the staff and from the library that has established an implementation system for measures against infectious diseases.

Please refer to the notice on our website for the detailed schedule.

We would like to ask for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
