Renovation of a former newspaper printing center for contemporary applications. The Tokushima Shimbun Company's former newspaper printing center, situated in the eastern sector of Tokushima City—was bestowed upon Tokushima Prefecture in 2020 following the relocation of its operational functionalities. Despite its vintage of 25 years, the prefecture has resolved to repurpose the printing center into a "Transportation hub for disaster relief supplies" in times of calamity. The prefectural authorities organized a comprehensive hardware and software design competition, encompassing the building's utilization in regular circumstances, proposals for renovation, and sustainable business plans.
