Facilities

These buildings house offices for engineering faculty members and students, lecture rooms, and administrative offices. Students assigned to research laboratories (4th-year undergraduate students and above) use their own desks in the offices as a base for their studies and campus life. West Zone 2–4 are internally connected; however, due to differences in ground elevation, the floor numbering varies between the buildings. As a result, the 8th floor of West Zone 2 corresponds to the same level as the 7th floors of West Zone 3 and 4.

Each building also features a variety of exhibits. West Zone 2 houses a Foucault pendulum and Japan’s largest quartz crystal, while West Zone 4 includes the Centennial Gallery, an exhibition room commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Faculty of Engineering.

The Information Study Room, located on the second floor of West Zone 4, is a space that anyone is welcome to use freely for self-study, short breaks, or casual learning. Individual study booths are available for those who wish to focus on their work.The room also features a spacious shared area suitable for enjoying lunch with friends or participating in group work.

Open Learning Plaza houses the Faculty of Engineering’s lecture rooms, with spaces ranging from mid-sized classrooms for about 50 students to large lecture halls seating over 200.

The building is characterized by its distinctive glass-covered windows.

Lecture Hall West brings together the lecture rooms used by the Faculty of Engineering and includes classrooms capable of accommodating more than 100 students.

On the first floor, the cafeteria “E-Café,” offers not only weekly meals but also a variety of café-style menu.

E-Café offers terrace seating and is lively during lunchtime.

Located in the engineering area, “Restaurant Big Dora” offers a wide variety of meals, including set meals, rice bowls, noodles, and halal dishes.

The “Co-op Big Dora Store” sells not only bento lunches, snacks, and beverages, but also stationery, books, and daily necessities. It also offers Kyushu University original goods, making it a great place to purchase souvenirs and gifts.

Located in the West Zone, the Science and Technology Library offers a quiet and comfortable environment for study and research. The library is equipped with an automated storage system capable of housing approximately 700,000 volumes.
It also provides a variety of study spaces to suit different needs, including individual study rooms for focused learning and group study rooms for collaborative work.
