Tohoku University is a public research university in
Sendai, Miyagi, Japan. It is colloquially referred
to as Tohokudai or Tonpei. Established in 1907 as
the third of the Imperial Universities, after the
University of Tokyo and Kyoto University, it
initially focused on science and medicine, later
expanding to include humanities studies as well. The
Katahira Campus, located in central Sendai, makes
the best use of its convenience thus increasing
opportunities for the extension courses of Law
School, etc. and is widely open to the public for
citizen exchange. Moreover, its identity as the
birthplace of Tohoku University and renowned success
is with the construction of its international
research base in material related fields. The
Katahira Campus, the original site of the Tohoku
Imperial University, was founded in 1907; and as the
main campus, it concentrated in many faculties and
institutions up to about 1965.
Since the Department of Engineering and others moved
out to the Aobayama and Kawauchi Campus; the
Institute for Materials Research, Research Institute
of Electrical Communication, and others within the
campus have been improved in global excellence as
the Administrative Center of the university.
The Department of Science, the Chemistry Rooms of
Tohoku Imperial University (built in 1927), was
reconstructed recently as the University
Headquarters Building, and the Department of
Engineering, the Material Engineering Rooms of
Tohoku Imperial University (built in 1924) , was
reconstructed recently as the WPI-AIMR Main
Building.
In addition, the North Gate (the main entrance of
Katahira Campus) was reformed as "open-door"
campus.
