◆◇◆ About the facility ◆◇◆

Osaka University Hall, previously called “I-gokan,” was built in 1928 as a school building for the former Naniwa High School and was subsequently transferred to the University of Osaka under the reform of the school system. Since then, it has been used as the building of the former Department of Liberal Arts and, in recent years, as the main building for the General Education Department. In 2004, it was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. As the University of Osaka approaches its 80th anniversary, the building was renovated in 2011 as the “Osaka University Hall” to serve as “a facility for the common aspirations of students at the University of Osaka” and as “a symbol of the academic traditions of Osaka,” as well as to promote various activities related to social-academia collaboration, industry-academia collaboration, and international collaboration.
