23 January 2025 by Ennead Architects

We are excited to share that Ennead's Master Plan for the American School in Japan has received a Special Citation in American School & University's 2024 Architectural Portfolio.

The American School in Japan, Tokyo's leading international school, has developed a bold new academic mission that seeks to build a community of inquisitive learners and independent thinkers. Ennead has created a master plan that aligns the campus with this ambitious vision. Conceived as a “ River of Learning ,” our master plan for ASIJ reshapes the campus with a sinuous form that weaves through the property, uniting all school divisions into a singular, continuous structure.
