This is a project to establish the only University of Nursing and Social Welfare in Saitama Prefecture. For upbringing of human resources who are required for community healthcare, we considered it is important to educate students to act across the medical field. Therefore, we emphasized the floor planning by which all the learning place compounds and makes a network, and avoided the ridge placement according to Faculty Department. We assembled all experimental training room in 1st floor and arranged so that each department might be intermingled spatially while each room opens to the media gallery and streets, and arranged lecture room and locker room across the deck on second floor, placed laboratory in third and fourth floor. Entire second floor deck on rooftop of the experimental room was designed to be a field place consisted with the building. We tried to industrialization in the design of the various elements of this building, such as principal structure of this building designed as precast concrete.
