Seemingly, the Aoyama Technical College is a mecha, resting in one corner of the street and waiting for the proper moment to attack the opponent.

Located in a residential area in Daikanyama, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, the campus was established in 1990. Built to accommodate the Shibuya campus of the saide school, the mecha building was designed by Japanese architect Makoto Sei Watanabe. According to the official website of the architect, this building is actually designed after a combination of things that students most probably use and study while in school: water tanks, lightning rods, joints, etc. But these materials are simply nothing unles they are put together to create a truly functional machine, just like what the school does to the students.
