2025 Shiba-Kyoritsu Campus Disaster Drill Held

May 16, 2025

The Shiba-Kyoritsu Campus conducts a disaster drill every spring for second-year students of the Faculty of Pharmacy.

Students of the Faculty of Pharmacy attend the Hiyoshi Campus in their first year and the Shiba-Kyoritsu Campus from their second year onward. As the Shiba-Kyoritsu Campus houses a large amount of experimental equipment and chemicals, it is extremely important for second-year students, who are new to the campus, to learn how to respond in an emergency.

This year, the disaster drill was held on Thursday, May 8, with approximately 200 second-year students participating. After the second period class ended (from 12:15 p.m.), staff members explained the outline of the drill to students in the lecture hall and distributed the "Keio University Disaster and Emergency Pocket Guide." Following this, a drill was conducted in which students evacuated the school building, assuming a fire had broken out due to an earthquake. They followed in-building announcements and guidance while confirming the evacuation routes.

Concurrently with the student evacuation drill, staff members appointed as the private fire brigade conducted initial firefighting and safety protection drills. Additionally, a fire extinguisher training session was held for faculty and staff.

Based on the results of the drill, the Shiba-Kyoritsu Campus will review its fire prevention plan and continue to prepare to ensure the safety of its students, faculty, and staff.

Date & Time: Thursday, May 8, 2025, 11:50 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. (Student evacuation: 12:26 p.m. – 12:34 p.m.)

Route: From the Large Auditorium in Building 2, Shiba-Kyoritsu Campus, through the emergency exits and off campus,
