| The Kansai-kan is designed to provide long-term storage
of library materials and improved library services responding to the
information society in the 21st century.
The Kansai-kan building was designed by Mr. Fumio Toki (Fumio Toki
Architect Institute), who won first prize in an international design
competition sponsored by the Ministry of Construction.
The Kansai-kan, a building with four stories above ground and four
stories below, has a total floor area of approximately 60,000 m2,
80% of which is in the basement including reading rooms and stack
rooms. The stacks from the 2nd basement to the 4th basement can
hold approximately 6 million volumes.
