Former Faculty of Science Building No. 1 at Hiroshima University
Former Faculty of Science Building No. 1 at Hiroshima University, University building in Naka-ku, Hiroshima, Japan.
The three-story reinforced concrete structure features a distinctive E-shaped design when viewed from above, with its original exterior walls still standing.
Constructed in June 1931 as part of Hiroshima University of Literature and Science, the building withstood the 1945 atomic blast while its interior burned.
The structure represents the evolution of Japanese educational facilities, combining 1930s architectural elements with adaptations made during post-war reconstruction.
Located at 1-1-1 Higashi Senda-machi coordinates 34.382083, 132.4585, the building remained functional until the faculty relocated to Higashi-Hiroshima in 1991.
The building's concrete shell maintained its form through the atomic explosion, making it one of few educational structures from pre-war Hiroshima still standing.
