Perched atop a small mound to the side of the roadway leading to the AIT globe monument area is a curious new fixture to the campus. Vaguely similar to a collection of traditional Japanese “tori”, a number of tree logs set in a circle on the grassy knoll form the new “2011 Flood Memorial Garden” – an understated and tranquil reminder of what was AIT’s worst ever natural calamity.

Staff, faculty, students, and workers on campus are all putting in overtime to prepare for the upcoming 118th AIT Graduation Ceremony – to be held at AIT’s main campus for the first time since the flood of 2011.
