Better known amongst students as 'The Shack' - the house is where a significant part of the publications, learning resources and student email systems are constructed or maintained. The technical support for video production and video editing is based here.

The traditional tatami matting has been removed and the floor elevated to accommodate the large quantities of fiber-optic cable and pipes that the studio requires. Inside the studio itself there is a large number of PC's and Macintosh computers, scanners, color copiers and associated infrastructure.

The studio is of course well wired and laptops are easily connected via LAN cards. Yamasa is an full Internet Service Provider (ISP) and all networks operate at high speed. All of the support staff are full time. Yamasa is the only Japanese language school with these services.

Incorporated into the studio and run by the International Office is the Business Center. Business people coming to Yamasa for course often stay in touch with their companies by making use of the center, although the services are of course open to all. Students who need access to everything a business center in a 5 star hotel can provide will find it here including printing, secretarial, computing services, cellular telephone rental, technical support etc - all at prices way below the prevailing market rates.

Quite a few students do short internships or work part-time in the building. A large part of this homepage was written by students using the center and a significant part of the translation and web development of online learning systems is done by students in the advanced classes.
