The College of Engineering, now located on the Yongdang Campus of Pukyong National University, is moving its nest to the Daeyeon Campus by 2018.
On October 10, PKNU announced that two cutting-edge engineering buildings are starting to be constructed on the Daeyeon Campus on an area of 26,156 square meters at a cost of ₩53,140,000,000.
On October 7 at 4 pm, groundbreaking ceremony for the Convergence Laboratory was held at the site beside Baekyeong Hill, where construction of the Convergence Engineering Building is in progress.
These two neighboring buildings will have thirteen stories above ground and one below, respectively, and aimed to be completed by June 2018.
PKNU intends to develop competitiveness of the University by creating two specialized campuses: the Daeyeon Campus concentrating on the education and research, and the Yongdang Campus focusing on the Industry-University Cooperation. Nine of twenty departments within the College of Engineering have already moved their offices and lecture rooms from the Yongdang Campus into the Daeyeon Campus. After the completion of the buildings, remaining eleven departments will finish moving the headquarters.
Once the relocation of every department is completed, the College of Engineering, which opened the door on the Yongdang Campus in 1986, says goodbye to its old home after 32 years. Instead, the campus that spreads across 330,605 square meters opens entirely for cooperation and startup of companies from Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam Region.
Now in Yongdang Campus, as the Special Busan Research & Development Area as well as the only area for New Technology Startup and the Research Village in the Southeastern region, about two hundred companies have moved in to create a University Research Park, which can help enhance the economy and industry of Busan area. .
On the other hand, the University plans to make the Daeyeon campus as a specialized campus for research and education. It will encompass large dormitory complex that is capable of housing 4,700 people. In addition to the completion of artificial turf soccer field and on-campus daycare center, PKNU is under way to enlarge its infrastructure for research, education and welfare of the University members. <Pukyong Today>
