Helios Plaza is one of Fukuoka University's 60th anniversary memorial projects, and a core facility in the restructuring of the campus master plan. The building houses a small auditorium, restaurant, café, exhibition gallery, conference rooms, and student lounges - a lively place for students and faculty alike. As many of its users come from outside the University, the facade was designed to be open and transparent, and to reflect an accessible, public face for the university.
