A large Convergence Engineering Building is to be built at Daeyeon Campus of Pukyong National University. The groundbreaking ceremony of the building was held at the site beside Baekyeong Hill at 14.00 on 30 November 2015 with the attendance of President Kim Young-seup.
After the 16,500㎡ building with thirteen stories above ground and one below is completed in June 2018, eleven departments of College of Engineering in Yongdang Campus will move to the building in Daeyeon Campus.
The construction is a part of plan to reinforce the competitiveness of the University by characterizing Daeyeon Campus as an area of education and research and Yongdang Campus as an area of Association of University, Research Institute and Industry. Nine of twenty departments of College of Engineering already changed their address to Daeyeon Campus.
The new building will house laboratories, lecture rooms and seminar rooms on floors 3-13, student community area such as book-café and counseling office on the first floor, and administration on the second floor. A multi-purpose hall for events and sports activities will also be located on the third floor.
Right beside the Convergence Engineering Building, the University will construct another 8,000㎡ building for experiment and practice with budget of 19 billion won by 2018 to finish relocation of the College of Engineering.
Meanwhile, new construction of two dormitories that can accommodate 2,600 more students is currently underway at Daeyeon Campus. Project on expansion of education infrastructure through providing day care center and sports complex is also actively ongoing.
Yongdang Campus was designated as INNOPOLIC Busan as well as the only Start-up Area of New Technology in Yeongnam region, and about 200 companies are currently situated in. The University is planning to develop Yongdang campus as the University Research Park (URP) that can accelerate the industry and economy in Busan region to promote “small but strong” global businesses. <Pukyong Today>
