FUTURE UNIVERSITY HAKODATE
2/16

Future University Hakodate, which opened in the year 2000, was envisioned and established as a place for future-oriented research and education based on achievements related to 21st-century science and technology, liberal arts and culture. Such enterprising spirit and practice is based on the university’s Open space, open mind concept.Education in the 20th century was based on conveying knowledge unilaterally from teachers to students. This involved lectures being given in designated classrooms at xed times. One of the university’s aims was to change this style in order to create an interactive channel of learning between teachers and students and help students to learn from one another. With the approach used today, all time and space are used for learning while students are on campus. Future University Hakodate was designed on such ideas.A large space in the university, known as the studio area, with an open ceiling to the fth level gives a feeling of shared space, and creates a sense of unity and community learning. All facilities are located in a single large building, with professors’ laboratories, lecture rooms, the library, oces and all other rooms walled by transparent glass. In this way, everyone can clearly view what is happening on campus. A variety of activities, including group work, discussions, programming, design, craft, communications and presentations, are carried out based on curricula and programs developed in conjunction with this arrangement of space. In this way, Open space and open mind form the basis of all activities at Future University Hakodate. Japan’s ICT star in the NorthFUTURE UNIVERSITY HAKODATE01
