Tohoku University Centennial Hall

Tohoku University Centennial Hall is a concert venue in Sendai designed by Mitsubishi Jisho Design that combines contemporary architectural design with functional performance spaces. The facility includes multiple halls and auditoriums equipped for concerts, lectures, and university events.

The hall opened in 2008 as part of Tohoku University's centennial celebration marking a century since the institution's founding. This opening represented a significant moment in the university's development as a leading academic center in the region.

The hall sits at the heart of the university campus and serves as a gathering place for musical performances featuring students and faculty members. It functions as a space where the academic community shares various artistic presentations throughout the year.

The venue is well accessible by taxi, roughly five minutes from Sendai Station, or by subway to Aobadori Ichibancho Station. The building provides clear entrances and good signage for visitors attending events.

The hall stays open until 9:30 PM during special events, allowing evening performances and late academic gatherings. These extended hours make it a valuable venue for after-hours programming on campus.
