This project center is centered around Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT), an engineering-focused university with a campus in the heart of downtown Tokyo. SIT is a very urban campus in a single large 14-story building housing teaching and research facilities. The location is beautiful, in an artificial archipelago a short bridge-walk from the heart of downtown Tokyo. It is slightly larger than WPI (~6000 undergrads 2000 grad students), and has ten full-time staff focused on international programs. SIT hosts about 1000 visiting students per year from all over the world. The building is engineered to resist damage during earthquakes: during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, not a single book fell from the library shelves. It also includes a "Tech Plaza" comparable to the Innovation Studio labs, this one with optical and electron microscopes, X-ray diffraction and tomography, and other equipment, all of which are available for use by appropriately trained students. Students have completed MQPs since 2019.
