Eishin Campus – High School and College Complex
1982 to 1987The project was envisioned to be a new combined High School and College Complex for the Eishin Gakuen Foundation, in Saitama prefecture, outside Tokyo, and was designed as such. The campus was to be the working environment of a population of 2000 students and faculty, and occupied roughly 280 meters by 320 meters, or 8.96 hectares. The High School buildings for 1,200 students were estimated to have 6,600 square meters of built space, while the College building for 800 students, 6,000 m2 square meters. A network of pedestrian streets, paths and open public spaces, along with playing fields, gardens and landscaped areas were laid out early in the design process, in parallel with the layout and design of the buildings.
In this section, the project is dealt with as an entity, which includes both the High School and College Complex, since it was designed as such. It addresses issues pertaining to the overall layout and design process of both as a whole, and contains information and records relevant to the above.
Both projects “Eishin Campus – High School”, which was built and “Eishin Campus – College Complex”, which was only designed, provide a complete image of this project.
