Arhitektura i Urbano Okruženje

This field aims to deepen knowledge of architecture and urban environment, such as housing and social infrastructure. Students learn technologies for creating safe and secure buildings as well as urban spaces in terms of functionality, disaster prevention, and environmental consideration.

The origin of founding NIIT was based on the strong will of Niigata-based companies for establishing an educational institution by themselves where they could foster talented engineers in Niigata through on-the-job training. Their determination eventually formed an alliance of the institute foundation, and the fund was raised widely from public to private, including Kashiwazaki and most other cities, towns, and villages in Niigata prefecture.

The number of supporting companies reached more than 500. Thus NIIT was founded by the great enthusiasm of the alliance companies, local government, and many citizens of Niigata.
