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.
