Pukyong National University (President Kim Young-seup) held the groundbreaking ceremony of the Complex Education Center and the completion of the Engineering 2nd Building on the afternoon of September 10 at Daeyeon Campus Grand Stadium.

The complex education center, which opened the groundbreaking ceremony for the new construction on that day, will invest KRW 17.4 billion, and it is built on the ground next to Grand Stadium at Daeyeon Campus and has a total floor area of 8869 ㎡ in 11 floors above ground.

Pukyong National University will build a multi-education center aiming to be completed in December 2020 to secure space due to changes in internal and external conditions, including the establishment of the fourth industrial education base in the water and marine sector, and the continuous increase of full-time faculty members and international students.

When the building is completed, there will be student welfare facilities, departmental faculty research labs, lecture rooms, and laboratories. On the 11th floor, a 185㎡ sky lounge will be established as a multicultural space for learning and resting.

In addition, the Engineering 2 building, which was completed on this day, started construction in 2016, and invested 19.3 billion won to complete the ground floor and ground level of 9556 ㎡ and entered next to Daeyeon Campus Engineering 1 building.

The Engineering Hall 2 is equipped with laboratories and test laboratories of 11 departments of engineering, which all moved from Yongdang Campus to Engineering Hall 1 last year. It is also characterized by maximizing the mobility and utilization between the two buildings by installing connecting passages for the first building and each floor.

These projects are in accordance with the campus specialization plan to characterize Pukyong National University as a center for education and research, and Yongdang Campus as an industry-university innovation space.

In accordance with this plan, Pukyong National University has opened the Yongdang Campus to enterprises, and is now operating as a “Dragon Valley”, an industrial-academic cooperation and start-up center where more than 340 companies and 1,700 employees reside. <Pukyong Today>
