Like much of Japan, Akita is experiencing significant depopulation, resulting in thousands of vacant or abandoned houses. In 2016, AUA students and faculty launched an experimental initiative called the “Akiya (vacant house) Project”, which researches possible solutions to the vacant house problem. As part of this project, AUA has leased and repurposed two formerly vacant buildings in the Araya District where the university is located, naming them “Ichino” and “Nino” (“first” and “second”) in reference to the order in which they were acquired. These buildings are now used as alternative spaces for AUA students, faculty and guests, hosting exhibitions and other events.
