University Campus Plaza . Okayama

SANAA . + Okayama University

The construction of the new Campus Plaza, completed in February of 2014, is part of a campus improvement project centered around the University Union. The Campus Plaza, a welcoming open space paved with pink bricks, is located on the north side of the University Union. The pergola (originally meaning a grapevine trellis), designed by SANAA, has a roof that provides shade and creates a place of relaxation. When the surrounding trees grow to their full height, their shade will complement the pergola to create a cozy forest-like space.
