Renovation of the Hiyoshi dormitory of Keio University, designed by Taniguchi Yoshiro in 1939. The building consists of four buildings: the North Dormitory, the Middle Dormitory, the South Dormitory, and the Bathhouse, and only the South Dormitory was renovated. The sashes, which had been altered from the original, and the exterior tiles, which had deteriorated, were restored using modern methods based on the drawings to preserve the exterior, while the facilities and floor plan were changed to suit modern lifestyles, and the interior walls were reinforced against earthquakes.
