The Disaster Mitigation Research Building aims to mitigate disasters in society through collaboration among industry, the government, academia, and citizens. The seismically isolated building is equipped with non-utility and photovoltaic power generation systems. \ \ It is a place where researchers studying earthquakes and disasters gather and where technologies for earthquake-resistant buildings are developed. While it is primarily used for advanced research and education, it becomes a disaster response focal point for Nagoya University and the region in the event of a disaster.
The first and second floors, as well as the seismic isolation gallery, are open to the public as museum spaces. \ \ Opening Hours: 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. (last admission at 3:30 p.m.) \ Closed: Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, the last Saturday of the month, national holidays, \ New Year’s holidays, Obon holidays, and the beginning and end of the academic year.
The museum may also close temporarily due to facility use or university events. \ \ Advance reservations are required for groups of five or more. \ \ Please refer to the calendar on the Reservation Page for the days the museum is open and closed.
