UPDATE: The building has since been demolished.

The University of Tokyo may be planning to demolish its Misaki Marine Biological Station Laboratory building in Kanagawa Prefecture. The 2-story, 1,000 sqm (10,760 sq.ft) building was built in 1936 and sits on a waterfront location overlooking Shoiso, Aburatsubo and Sagami Bays in Miura. The demolition is likely to also include the 400 sqm Exhibit of Aquatic Species building that was built in 1932. This was one of the Kanto region’s first full-scale aquariums and once drew over 100,000 visitors per year, turning the Aburatsubo area into a sight-seeing destination.
