Kumamoto National College of Technology earthquake recovery

Overview

Following the 2026 Kumamoto earthquake, Kumamoto National College of Technology has been managing recovery efforts at its Yatsushiro Campus. While all students and staff are confirmed safe, the campus sustained significant damage, including flooding in the dormitory that damaged personal belongings and kitchen facilities, as well as collapsed bookshelves in the library.

One month after the earthquake, emergency inspections have confirmed that buildings are safe for entry, with professional damage assessments scheduled for mid-September. The institution is working to reopen the dormitory by late September and plans to implement a hybrid model of in-person and online classes for the upcoming semester to maintain educational continuity.
