Comfortable Campus that Fosters Diverse Interactions

A campus open to the local community

No fences surround the school grounds, allowing anyone to come and go freely to the central square and making it a campus that is open to the local community.

Courtyard - center of social interaction

In the center of campus, there is a courtyard with a rose garden where people can gather and chat, as well as an outdoor stage that can be used for events such as university festivals. Fukuyama Minato Park, located to the west and south of campus, is a place not only for students to relax, but also for interaction with local residents.
In addition, the mirrored corridor surrounding the courtyard provides a place for lively interaction between students, faculty, and staff.

A Campus in Harmony with the Surrounding Environment

In harmony with the surrounding landscape

Rather than a single large building, the campus is arranged with multiple buildings grouped by function. This reduces the sense of an overbearing presence, ensuring that the campus blends in with the surrounding area.

Park and inner harbor in the background

The cafeteria and training room provide a view of Fukuyama Minato Park on the west and south sides of campus. In addition, the library on the east side of campus has a reading room with a view of Fukuyama Port inner harbor.

A Campus that is Considerate of Users and the Environment

Efforts to achieve a barrier-free environment and universal design

The facilities are barrier-free and accessible to everyone. Facilities used for lifelong learning and adult education (recurrent education) are located on lower floors for convenience and ease of access.

Initiatives for a sustainable environment

Solar power generation equipment is installed on the roof, to generate electricity used on campus. In addition, we are actively introducing energy-saving and eco-friendly campus initiatives that make effective use of natural energy, such as the reuse of rainwater for watering plants and trees.

Learning Environment

A variety of learning environments are provided in the research building, including a large lecture hall. There are rooms dedicated to class activities such as the arts and craft room, home economics room, and science lab. In addition, there are also rooms that are used between classes, such as music rooms used mainly by students of the Faculty of Education to practice piano and other instruments, and a drawing room used by students of the Faculty of Urban Management. Information processing exercise rooms, which are equipped with computers, and engineering exercise rooms (CAD rooms) can be used freely when classes are not in session, allowing students to work on CAD-based designs and assignments.
The library is equipped with a browsing space, an AV corner, a group study room, and other facilities that are used by many students. It has a wide range of books and materials, as well as books related to the research fields of each faculty, such as education, childcare, welfare, environment, urban engineering and design studies, and economics.

Welfare Facilities

The administration building offers a variety of activities and support that are provided by specialized faculty and staff. This building houses a mental and physical support center (medical office), a career design center that provides support for finding employment, and an educational support center that provides teaching practice guidance and support for students in the Faculty of Education. In addition, the cafeteria and shops run by the Fukuyama City University Co-op are very busy with students and faculty/staff members during lunch and in between classes.
