Reconstruction
In 2006, new buildings replaced the old ones built over 45 years ago, since the old buildings did not satisfy the safety standard against earthquakes. To prevent the disruption of normal academic activities, the new buildings were constructed on the old school field. The old buildings will be demolished and the site converted to a new field.
