The symbol of the school, which incorporates a classical style, is a national tangible cultural property.
It was built in 1927 (Showa 2) as the auditorium of the former Hiroshima High School. It was made of reinforced concrete in a classical style, and since it was located in front of the main gate, it became the symbol of the school. With excellent acoustics, it was not only used as a place for students to hold club activities, but also for NHK to hold recitals. On August 6, 1945, the building was hit by the atomic bomb 2.69 kilometers from the hypocenter. The wooden main building was partially destroyed, but the auditorium and the library and chemistry classrooms, which were made of reinforced concrete, only sustained damage to the windows. Due to a campus exchange between the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Hiroshima University and the affiliated school, it became the auditorium of the Hiroshima University Junior and Senior High School in 1961 (Showa 36), and is still used for ceremonies and school events. On September 2, 1998 (Heisei 10), it was registered as a national tangible cultural property.
