through the Tunnel Gallery. A set of elevators at the end of the subterranean Tunnel Gallery bring visitors up a great distance to the three floors above. Level A, the first floor of Center Building, houses administration offices. Level B, the second floor, includes a library, two large seminar rooms, the Health Center, and a clinic. The top floor, Level C, with its grassy, open-air Center Court, is the true hub of OIST’s earliest facilities. All three lab buildings are directly connected to this level, which includes two seminar rooms and a café which boasts the Center Court as its outdoor seating. Part of Level C, including the café, is open to the public.</p></div></div> </div> </div> <article class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-embed-vertical-image"> <div class="mb-8 lg:mb-10">

surrounded by the sea, makes it an ideal institute for marine science research. With the increase of marine science units on the main campus, a decision was made to build a lab building exclusively for this field of research — the <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="b72555f7-3015-48e9-858d-0074f701517c" href="/news-center/news/2016/7/14/oist-marine-science-station-%E2%80%93-open-worldwide-research" title="OIST Marine Science Station – Open for Worldwide Research">OIST Marine Science Station</a>. A seafront site was provided by Onna Village in Seragaki, approximately 8km northeast of the main campus, and construction of the building was completed in 2016. The Marine Science Station includes both indoor and outdoor tanks that receive filtered and unfiltered seawater directly from the sea through underwater pipes pumped to seawater tanks on the roof top. The darker structure in the middle in photo below is a wall of seawater tanks.</p></div></div> </div> </div> <article class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-embed-vertical-image"> <div

<p>10th anniversary of OIST</p> </div> <h3>10th Anniversary Ceremony highlights OIST’s journey</h3> <p>The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University’s (OIST) 10th Anniversary Ceremony, which was held on May 22, 2022, brought together the Board of Governors, the Japanese Government, Okinawa Prefecture Government, representatives from throughout Japan and overseas, and the OIST community to celebrate the first decade of OIST’s journey. The ceremony was originally scheduled for November 2021, which would have coincided with the actual 10th anniversary but the decision was made to delay the ceremony due to the travel restrictions and for the wellbeing of the community. The ceremony included a video message from Japan’s Prime Minister, H.E. Fumio Kishida, who congratulated OIST for its success over the last decade, stated that he had great hopes for how OIST’s research will benefit society, and promised to support OIST as the institution grows in the future.</p> <p>As part of the ceremony, a short film highlighted OIST’s journey and vision over the last ten years was created and screened., with more than 50 countries represented.
