This facility offers fundamental instruction in a variety of creative endeavors, including graduation thesis projects, and other specialized undertakings. While learning basic operations and skills for using different tools and processing machines, students will also gain practical training to cultivate sensitivity to important materials and to develop creative abilities which are indispensable to designers. At the same time, they work on practice in confirming scales and the test-manufacturing and study of machines and tools for experimentation.

This workshop provides a variety of equipment and software used to create digital images, including the following for producing high-quality content and archive.

After the Kyushu Institute of Design was consolidated with Kyushu University on October 1, 2003, the Information Processing Center was also integrated into the Research Institute for Information Technology. This institute has since been shared by students and faculty of Kyushu University as an educational research facility.

The Design Division of KASTEC and the Intellectual Property Division of Design cooperate with the Faculty of Design, the core for design research at this university, in order to promote the development of the designing field at the university and beyond its boundaries as well.

Since this branch and the Ohashi Campus Infirmary took over the operation of the Ohashi Healthcare Counseling Room of the Kyushu Institute of Design, they have served for primary care, checkups, counseling and hygiene education to preserve and improve the physical and mental well-being of students and faculty.
