context_page_description: Keio University is the oldest and most highly rated private university in Japan. Due to its age, its campuses have many historic buildings.
context_section_description: In 1917 a medical school (医学科予科, Igaku-ka yoka) opened in Mita, later moving to Shinanomachi and (during World War II) Musashino. Notable buildings include:
  New Building (新棟, Shin-tō): Built in 1987, the 11-story hospital has 1,056 beds.
  Kitasato Memorial Medical Library: In 1937, the Dr. Kitasato Memorial Library Commission (北里博士記念医学図書館建設会, Kitasato hakushi kinen igaku tosho-kan kensetsu-kai) unveiled plans for a library in memory of the medical school's founder, Shibasaburo Kitazato. Three hundred thousand yen was raised, and 和田順顕 (Junkei Wada) was commissioned to design the building. In 1944 the commission donated the building to the university, and in 2004 it was renamed the Shinanomachi Media Center. It has a large number of books, specializing in medical history. The Kitasato Prize (北里講堂, Kitasato kodo) is awarded annually.
  Institute of Integrated Medical Research: The nine-story building was constructed in 2001.
  Clinical Research Building: The five-story building was constructed in February 2008.
  Preventive Medicine and Public Health Building: Built in 1929, the four-story building (designed by 曾禰中條建築事務所 (Sonenaka-jyo kenchiku jimusho) and built by 清水組 (Shimizu-gumi)) is the oldest on the Shinanomachi campus and until recently was used for lectures.
  Hospital annex: The annex was designed by Sone-naka-jyo kenchiku jimusho and constructed by 大林組 (Ōbayashi gumi) in 1932. In 2008, it ended its operations; in November 2009, a ceremony to appease the earth･god (地鎮祭, Jichin sai) was held before the construction of Building 3.
  Building 3: The six-story building has two wings: North (Clinical Research Building II) and South.
