Thursday mornings at Miyagi Gakuin University 07


The road from the front gate to the first university buildings is quite pleasant - a tree-lined avenue in essence. The writing in the road says "STOP", by the way. The building that you can see contains classrooms and faculty offices, as well as the room for part-time teachers.When you arrive at the T-intersection in front of the classroom building, you find on your right a two story building that contains the administrative offices. The buildings are almost all red brick, which is unusual in this land of earthquakes. However, the bricks are not load bearing and last year they reinforced all of the buildings so they can now stand a really large quake.

The entrance to the classroom building is at the rear and to reach it there is an arcade like passageway that is lined with notice boards for the students.
At the end there is a roofed passage to the next building. The buildings are also connected above ground with passages between the third and fourth floors of the buildings - the first five floors and the second six.
