From the 739 submissions, Waseda University is pleased to announce that the new name of Memorial Hall will be Waseda Arena.<\/p>\n<p>The University&#8217;s name, internationally recognized and familiar to Waseda students of all generations, was combined with &#8220;Arena&#8221; to reflect Waseda&#8217;s the state-of-the-art multipurpose sports facility in the building. Waseda Arena will not only serve as a sports facility and venue for University events as it had previously, but learning commons and a sports museum will be inside the building as well. Furthermore, the rooftop space was named Toyama Hill, where it is intended for students and alumni to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. The word &#8220;Hill&#8221; in the name symbolizes nature and the shape of the rooftop space.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-46312 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/shisetsu04'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu04-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu04-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu04-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu04-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu04-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu04.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/shisetsu03'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu03-360x270.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-45727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu03-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu03-610x458.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu03-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu03-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/shisetsu03.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-45727'>\n\t\t\t\t\u65e9\u7a32\u7530\u306e\u4e18\uff08\u30a4\u30e1\u30fc\u30b8\uff09\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Still under construction, Waseda Arena is expected to be completed in March and stand as a new landmark of the University.<\/p>\n<h4>Timelapse video of dismantling Memorial Hall<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dismantling Memorial Hall \u8a18\u5ff5\u4f1a\u5802\u89e3\u4f53 #timelapse\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0nP-vuh-vzE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
