Inaugurated in 1926
City-designated heritage site
With red bricks as its principal construction material, the Administration Building was completed during the Taihoku Advanced Academy of Agronomy and Forestry era (under the office of the Governor-General of Taiwan) and became the administrative center of Taihoku Imperial University and later its successor, National Taiwan University. The four Corinthian columns of the portico instill an air of serene dignity. The exquisite carvings at the central entrance of the building’s façade echo the decorations on the wall of the College of Liberal Arts building across the Royal Palm Blvd. The pond in front of the Administration Building fully captures the beauty of the architecture and its environment, making it one of the most photographed spots on campus.
