The Tokyo Institute of Technology and Tokyo Medical and Dental University signed an agreement to merge into one university in October 2022.[3] In November and December 2022, the two universities publicly solicited names for the new university on their websites.[4]
On 19 January 2023, it was decided for the new university to use the name "Institute of Science Tokyo" (東京科学大学).[5][6]
On 31 October 2023, the Japanese cabinet decided to amend the National University Corporation Act. The former National University Corporation Tokyo Institute of Technology (国立大学法人東京工業大学) was renamed the National University Corporation Institute of Science Tokyo (国立大学法人東京科学大学), and the National University Corporation Tokyo Medical and Dental University (国立大学法人東京医科歯科大学) was dissolved at the same time. After being passed by the National Diet of Japan, the amendment took effect on 1 October 2024. The new university's headquarters is located in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, where the former Tokyo Institute of Technology headquarters was located.[7][8]

Yushima (湯島, Yushima) Campus is the main campus of medical and dental school located in Bunkyō, close to Ochanomizu Station, which contains the main university hospital buildings and research facilities including the 126m-tall M&D tower.
The Yushima Campus was originally part of the site of Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School (now Ochanomizu University), which was rented intermittently. During the time of the Tokyo Higher Normal School for Dentistry (the old system), the need for building expansion prompted the Ministry of Education to relocate the Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School to Otsuka, Bunkyo-ku in 1930, thus expanding the main campus. Present, the Yushima and Surugadai campuses are located on a limited amount of land and are densely packed with high-rise buildings with a maximum building-to-land ratio. In particular, the research building is a high-rise building, giving it a unique appearance for a national research institute. The ground area is 45,090m2, building area is 273,054m2.[11]
Surugadai (駿河台, Surugadai) Campus is also located close to Ochanomizu Station and houses Institute of Biomaterials and Bioengineering, M&D data center and the part of Medical Research Institute. The ground area is 5,597m2, building area is 18,028m2.[11]
Konodai (国府台, Kōnodai) Campus is where undergraduate medical and dental students start their university studies and is home to the former Faculty of Liberal Arts, the Kohnodai Library, student dormitories, grounds and gymnasium, and other facilities. This campus is located in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, about 40 minutes from Yushima Campus by train. The ground area is 61,049m2, building area is 13,965m2.[11]
