		Library Libraries are located on both Tsudanuma and Shibazono campuses. They are networked to enable computer searches of 190,000 books and 2,000 titles of scientific journals. Lending and return services are available at either library. Other services include providing the latest information on scientific papers from outside sources, audio-visual software and equipment loans, and a study room for students on the second floor of the Tsudanuma No.7 building and Shibazono No.6 building(library 2F).
		Workstation Laboratory The Workstation Laboratory is equipped with 150 workstations, two 120-inch screens at the front, four motorized screens at the middle, and six projectors. Up to 150 students can share the same information while working with one workstation per student. Workstations here feature thin 18-inch liquid crystal displays and space-saving keyboards. Although the room is large, the layout is well designed to allow for different class sizes.

The Center for Material Analysis, a related facility, is responsible for managing various analytical instruments, including X-ray diffractometers, surface analyzers, transmission electron microscopes, and scanning electron microscopes, and offers seminars and support services for users of these instruments. The institute's subordinate research facilities include Sound Information Research Center, Magnesium Material Research Center, Human Factor Research Center, and Discharge Plasma Research Center.
		High-technology Research Center Completed in 1999, the High-technology Research Center promotes unique high-technology research projects in line with a national plan for promoting scientific technologies. Subsidized by the MEXT, the Center is currently studying a molecular design for antisence nucleic acid in collaboration with researchers in Japan and overseas.
		Chigusa Students' Dormitory About 290 students from around Japan live together in the dormitory. The dormitory organizes a welcome party for freshmen in April, a dormitory festival in May, and a sports meeting in October, as well as other events to promote friendship among dormitory students.
