After nearly four decades in existence, Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) recently moved to a new building that provides a traditional college setting, marking a significant moment in the branch campus’ history.
TUJ was previously scattered throughout floors in office buildings in a high-end area of Tokyo. In August, TUJ relocated to a six-story building constructed specially for the school on the campus of Showa Women’s University (SWU) in bustling Setagaya City, Tokyo.
The move brings TUJ’s students and faculty a traditional university setting for the first time in its history, complete with a large cafeteria and sitting area known as the Parliament, where students can relax, study, and spend time together, as well as an outdoor quad-like area reminiscent of Main Campus’ “Beury Beach.”
