Relocation of Newly Built Office in Sangdo 4-dong, Dongjak-gu

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Lee Chang-woo) announced that it has completed the construction of the new Sangdo 4-dong community center, a long-awaited project by residents, and will officially begin operations on June 1.

The newly constructed community center, located at 44, Yangnyeong-ro 27-gil, was built with a total floor area of 1,985.26㎡, consisting of 2 basement floors and 4 above-ground floors.

The existing community center, built in 1980, had caused significant inconvenience to residents due to the aging building and limited space, leading to continuous demands for a new facility.

Accordingly, the district decided to rebuild and relocate the community center after gathering residents' opinions, breaking ground in October 2018 and completing construction in March of this year.

The new community center was designed as a complex facility to support residents' lives by incorporating various convenience facilities in addition to the core functions of the community center.

From the 2 basement floors to the 4th floor above ground, the building houses a parking lot, civil service office, book cafe, small meeting rooms for residents, multipurpose rooms, and a large auditorium, among other convenience facilities.

In accordance with the Barrier-Free (BF) certification for an obstacle-free living environment, the interior was designed with gentle ramps for easy wheelchair access and separate restrooms for men and women with disabilities.

Additionally, the building is eco-friendly, minimizing energy loss by utilizing solar energy, high-efficiency lighting, and water-saving devices.

The district plans to complete the relocation to the new community center between May 30 and 31 to minimize inconvenience to residents caused by the move.

With the relocation of the Sangdo 4-dong community center, the old community center building (53, Seongdaero 59-gil) will be remodeled and repurposed as an open senior citizens' center and Kiwoom Center facility.

We will also develop the Jangseungbaegi Comprehensive Administrative Town, scheduled to begin construction in the second half of the year, into an open space for culture and communication to give back to the residents.”
