1 The framework plan deﬁnes a vision for the campus over the next 30 years. The central library on the Green Belt will be moved underground and connected directly to the subway, making the Higashiyama campus greener. The north and south buildings along the Green Belt will be converted to a space for general education. The goal is to oﬀer a wide green space to university members as well as visitors to gather and to create a public space for the local community. Motoji Shibusawa, the ﬁrst president of Nagoya University, conceived a green campus. He must have stood on the hill at the eastern edge of Nagoya city in his day, and looked at the city center far in the west, promising to contribute to the society from this newly opened campus made possible with the devoted eﬀorts of local people. In fact, Nagoya Castle is located far on the extension line of the Green Belt running from the current Toyoda Auditorium. Although no historical evidence exists, the predecessors might have planned the campus with the castle tower in their vision.

4 Framework Plan Energy Supply and Infrastructure Plan With its core eﬀorts to be a low-carbon campus, the whole university is devoted to creating a world-class, sustainable campus including eﬀective use of resources. For that, the university takes various approaches, in terms of hard/soft and on-site/oﬀ-site, such as collaborations with the local community or technology transfer to foreign countries. To create a zero net energy campus, or Zero Energy Campus (ZEC), the university also conducts step-by-step development for energy supply and infrastructures that are reliable, safe, and robust. long-term vision over 30 years The framework plan to be achieved over 30 years is shown below. The plan reveals the ideal campus to be sustained in the future with planned zoning, traﬃc, green spaces, and infrastructures, showing items to be sustainable as well as the basic policies for the individual campuses.
