The East Wing of the Diffendorfer Memorial Hall (DMH East Wing; completed in 1958; designed by Vories Architecture firm) is a three-story, one-story basement building named after Dr. Diffendorfer, who was one of the founders of ICU. Many ICU students have grown fond of DMH East Wing, the first student union hall in Japan, as a base of students' activities and a place for interaction between students and faculty members. It is also widely utilized as a meeting place for Christian organizations and church members on campus.
Moreover, the historical values of modern architecture, especially its external appearance, and innovative design by a significant architect Vories were highly evaluated, and it has been registered as a DOCOMOMO-Japan-selected-architecture in 2016.
During the recent renovation, we updated the building's facilities and repaired deteriorated interior sections while carefully preserving the original architectural design from the time of its construction.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone for their generous support.
