Gwangju Seo-gu 'Complex Community Center' Construction Fully Underway

Total Project Cost of 19.9 Billion Won Invested... Scheduled for Completion Next Year

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Daeseok) is set to actively promote the construction of a 'Complex Community Center.'

According to Seo-gu on the 5th, the construction of the Seo-gu Complex Community Center will involve a total project cost of 19.9 billion KRW, with completion targeted for the first half of next year. The building will have one basement floor and three above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 6,660㎡.

The center will house Seo-gu's second senior welfare center and a welfare building with public library facilities, as well as a cultural building with performance hall facilities.

During the design process, the center will obtain certifications for eco-friendly and green buildings, contributing positively to energy and carbon reduction in the building sector, and it is designed to supply more than 70% of its energy from renewable sources.

Furthermore, it is planned as a 'Barrier-Free (BF)' building to ensure easy access not only for the general public but also for the elderly and disabled, creating a space where all residents can communicate.

Through the construction of the Complex Community Center, Seo-gu expects to alleviate the inconvenience of residents in the Pungam, Geumho, and Yeomju areas by dispersing users from the current Seo-gu Senior Welfare Center, Seo-gu Cultural Center, and Sangnok Library, as well as contributing to the enhancement of culture and welfare through support for various complex programs.

A Seo-gu official stated, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the construction of the Complex Community Center, aimed at improving residents' welfare, fulfilling cultural needs, and providing knowledge and information, proceeds without any setbacks."

Meanwhile, the area where the Seo-gu Complex Community Center will be located is planned to be developed as a new cultural welfare cluster in Seo-gu, alongside the surrounding Life Sports Park, National Sports Center, and Ecological Library.
