The Josai University Educational Corporation, as part of the 50th anniversary of its founding, just opened the newly completed 5th building of the Tokyo Kioicho Campus.

On February 12, 2015, members of Josai faculty, board of directors, and alumni assembled for the ribbon cutting ceremony.
　 Chancellor Noriko Mizuta gave opening remarks, saying, “It is thanks to all of your great efforts that so many undergraduate and graduate students flock to our campus to study. We have many symposia and other events scheduled here as part of our university’s 50th anniversary festivities. We also have numerous events planned around the entrance examination and job placement activities. I believe that our new 5th building will be of great use for these sorts of events, in addition to a home base for alumni activities.”
　 Fumio Suzuki, president of the Josai Alumni Association, also gave a few words. “It is here, in what might be called the heart of Japan, that we hope to dispatch and receive information about Josai alumni. By making this building our office and home base, we would like to support the development of Josai University,” he said.

The 5th building consists of one below ground and five above ground floors with a total area of 1,400 square meters. The first floor houses the enrollment and public relations office and the parental support and alumni office. The 2nd through 4th floors will house a mini theater, seminar rooms, and study rooms. The 5th floor will consist of guest rooms for mid and long-term visitors from our sister institutions abroad.

The Tokyo Kioicho Campus was first opened in 2005. Other Josai University campuses include the Josai Junior College campus in Sakado and the Josai International University campuses in Togane and Awa. The Tokyo Kioicho Campus has many facilities to support student learning and job placement such as the Josai International Center for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences and the International Conference Room which function as a place for research and international exchange. At present there are approximately 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at Josai.
