Kyoai Gakuen University is attracting attention for its GLOCAL human resource development. A new facility that integrates a place for learning, interaction and office work functions, was required. We proposed an opened building that would be a node with the community. The characteristic “four faces” appear. The “Campus Gate” has a high roof welcoming visitor. The “Activity Terrace” connects the open space. “Sakura Entrance” is a connection to Bldg.4. The “Green Terrace” is a space which induces cooperation between staff members. The “project room” will be integrated with the FLA and the elements that are more than furniture and less than architecture.
