Major Facility Renovations

Financial Statements

The Tokyo International Forum makes every effort to provide services under the best conditions through day-to-day
inspection, repair, cleaning, and so on. To maintain and improve our high-quality services, we implemented large-scalerenovation work, starting in 2009 and planned to take ten years. The purpose of this renovation work was not only toassure and enhance customer convenience by supporting changing technology and needs, but also to ensure safety
and security, promote universal design, reduce future costs, and mitigate our environmental impact.

We wo u l d l ik e t o pr es ent t he m a j or c o nstr u c tio n w o r k c ar r ie d o u t in fisc al 2018.

Partial Renovat ion of Hall A

The hall was closed for approximately
three months during fiscal 2018 tocarry out renovation work.
Hall A boasts a high rate of operation inits use for large-scale events in a variety
of fields, ranging from concerts to international conferences, and the renovations have made this an even more comfortable, safer, and more secure venue.

Renovation of Elevators

Renovation of Escalators

Renovations were made to elevators forgeneral use and for freight. For elevators forgeneral use, disaster management cabinets forstoring emergency equipment were installed,intercoms supporting use by visually-impaired
people, devices that will automatically takethe elevator to the nearest floor in the event of power failure, and other suchitems were introduced, making the elevators more robust in times of emergency. The safety of elevators for freight has been further improved by installing a surveillance camera with higher resolution and doubling the brakesystem.

Renovations were made to all
the escalators in Hall A. They
included the addition of devices to detect low handrail
speed and the adoption (withsome exceptions) of an automatic low-speed standby
operation system. The renovations made the escalators
more comfortable to ride
while showing consideration
to energy conservation.

Restroom Renovations
Toilets were replaced with the latest water-conserving models to make them environment-friendly. We also worked to create a universal
environment, including an installation for thosewearing an ostomy bag and the replacementof some of the men’s urinals with larger orheight-adjustable models to make them more
comfortable for foreign visitors.

Partial Renovat ion of Hall D7/D5

Hall D5

These halls were closed for approximately three months during fiscal
2018 to carry out renovation work.
Hall D7 (340㎡) and Hall D5 (285㎡) are flat floor halls located on floors 7
and 5 of D Block, the nearest building to Yurakucho Station. Naturally
used singly, they can also be combined with two halls to enable extensive
expansion. Famous as high-quality venues for holding small and mid-size
events quickly, these halls became more comfortable and eco-friendly.

Renovation Without Closure
Sanitation Work

Carried out the same restroom renovations with Hall A at part of Hall C,
floors 1 and 7 of Glass Building.

Renovation of Elevators in
Glass Building
Safety has been further improved by installinga surveillance camera with higher resolution
and doubling the brake system.

Replacement of Wheelchair
Lift with the Elevator

There was a wheelchair lift between the D5
entrance of the Yurakucho Line station and ourconcourse on the first underground level, but
visitors needed to call our staff via intercom tooperate it. We replaced this wheelchair lift with
an elevator so that visitors can manage it bythemselves, enhancing customer convenience.
