Hello From AOBAYAMA | School of Engineering, Tohoku University

The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011 severely damaged some buildings on campus, three of which were declared unsafe by the authorities and had to be demolished. The professors and students had to move into temporary buildings for the duration of the reconstruction. The long wait of over 3 years for their new facilities and research equipment has finally come to an end with the completion of all three buildings! After a busy period of relocation in September and October all affected personnel have now returned to their research activities and have started to enjoy their new environments.
