The former building of the institute was designed by architect Yoshikazu Uchida and was built in the Shirokanedai district of Tokyo with financial assistance from the American Rockefeller Foundation. It has been designated a historic structure by the Architectural Institute of Japan in 1982. The building was abandoned long time after the institute's moving, but Minato Ward bought in 2009 and renovated in 2018 as a complex including museum of local history, home palliative service station, after-school children's day-care center, and child care consulting office.

Yoshikazu Uchida was born on February 23, 1885 in Tokyo, Japan. His father died 4 years later.
Emeritus professor of Tokyo University since 1951.
Yoshikazu Uchida was one of five 1907 graduates from the Department of Architecture of Tokyo Imperial University. For the next four years he worked as an architect in the real estate division of the Mitsubishi group. In 1910, he returned to Tokyo Imperial University for graduate studies under Toshikata Sano, the country's leading structural engineer and a pioneer in the study of earthquake resistant architecture.
From 1911, Yoshikazu Uchida lectured at the university on structural engineering. As Sano's successor, he did pioneering work in the study of steel frame and reinforced concrete construction.
Uchida also had a lasting influence on the University of Tokyo. In 1923, after much of the campus was destroyed in the great Kantō earthquake, Uchida oversaw the reconstruction effort and devised the master plan that shaped the campus as it exists today. In 1943, he was appointed president of the university. As president he successfully resisted demands from both the Japanese military and the American occupation forces that he allow the university to be used as a military headquarters.
