The Junior and Senior High School Affiliated to Showa Pharmaceutical University

A rebuilding project for one of Japan's leading schools - the Junior and Senior High School affiliated to Showa Pharmaceutical University. Our missions were to improve the school’s brand value and to execute “safe and secure” project, while existing school facilities keep operating. Yamashita PMC proposed a plan that would minimize the impact in school activities and completed the project in the shortest possible time, against the highly restrictive site conditions. We also went beyond the conventional definition of the PM services in certain initiatives such as a workshop to involve students in design process. Received a CM Selection Award in 2018, as well as a Good Design Award. ▼ Good Design Award https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44545

In the aging society, the way we approach the school development projects is changing. Renovation of aging facilities while standardizing the quality is expected. Also, when necessary we may consider involving private sector in the projects, or studying possibilities of institutional reorganizations and mergers. For private schools, branding and attractive facilities are equally important to acquire new students. In terms of cultural and art facilities, the expected functions are being shifted to more experience-oriented ones such as integration with dining and shopping, or combination of real and virtual etc., to respond to diversifying needs.
