Jointly Utilized Laboratory Center

The university provides support for a large number of researchers,both within and outside the university, by making its equipment and facilities available to them.

This apparatus utilizes an electron beam for examining the physical composition and structure of objects at the atomic level.
Direct observation magnification: 1 million times
Resolution: approx. 0.2 nm

Other Centers and Facilities

Manufacturing Center

The Manufacturing Center is equipped with machine tools of both quality and quantity that put it in the top class among technical colleges and universities. At this center precision experimental equipment and test pieces are fabricated for educational and research applications. Students in the two mechanical engineering departments also use the center to carry out exercises in machining and welding. The Manufacturing Center provides strong support for education in many aspects of manufacturing, for example, by giving technical guidance to undergraduate and graduate students who build their own experimental equipment as part of their studies.

Library

The library collection contains approximately 240,000 books, 4,000 academic journals, and 7,000 audio-visual materials. The first floor has a space for newspaper reading as well as study rooms and offices. The second and third floors have reading room facilities among the open stacks, with books on the second floor and journals and audio-visual materials on the third. A five-story annex houses rare books and other materials.

Housing

Hiroshima Institute of Technology owns and operates a residence hall for International Students consisting of 9 rooms. The residence hall is located off campus, within commuting distance. It's about a 40-minute bicycle-ride from the campus or a 5-minute walk from Takasu Station on Hiroden Miyajima Line.

Information Systems and Media Center

The Information Systems and Media Center houses three computer-equipped classrooms (two with 110 computers each and one with 56 computers), a CAD classroom (two with 90 computers) and a multimedia classroom (with 74 computers). When not in use for classes, the classrooms are open to students and staff for individual study and research. All of these computers are connected to the HITNET campus network, which provides access to the Internet from any computer at the university.

Gymnasium

The facilities at the Tsuru Memorial Gymnasium include: a main floor large enough to accommodate three basketball courts; a 25-meter heated swimming pool; a training room with a range of equipment including cycling machines, treadmills, and combination machines; and a physical testing system room. The gym is used by students and staff alike for enjoyment, physical fitness, and to stay healthy.
