Seocho-gu and Gangnam Seocho Office of Education Sign MOU for Office Relocation Cooperation...Decisive Move to Seocho-gu After 40 Years Since 1980 Establishment..."Please Call Us Now Seocho Gangnam Office of Education"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seocho-gu (Mayor Jo Eun-hee) and Gangnam-Seocho Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Yong-ho) signed a business agreement on the 19th to promote the relocation project of the office to Seocho-gu.

Through this agreement, both organizations agreed to actively cooperate in the necessary administrative procedures and related matters for the construction and relocation of the Office of Education building and the creation of a public parking lot.

The current Office of Education building, originally constructed in 1980 in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, has relatively aged facilities and has faced many difficulties in performing modern educational administrative services, leading to long-standing opinions on the need for relocation.

Accordingly, in preparation for 21st-century educational demands, the Office of Education sought a suitable relocation site and, through active consultations with Seocho-gu, finally decided to relocate and newly construct the office on a portion of the Seocho Cultural Arts School site located in Seocho-dong.

The newly constructed Office of Education building will be built on part of the 16,610㎡ total site of Seocho Cultural Arts Information School at 69, Nambusunhwan-ro 347-gil, Seocho-gu, using approximately 4,500㎡, and will be a structure with one basement floor and five above-ground floors.

After nearly 40 years, the existing office will move from Gangnam-gu to Seocho-gu, becoming a perfectly suited space to provide broader and more diverse educational administrative services to residents, and it is expected to be reborn as the Seocho-Gangnam Office of Education rather than the existing Gangnam-Seocho Office of Education.

Additionally, Seocho-gu plans to create a public parking lot with 100 spaces in the basement of the new office for the convenience of local residents. According to the 2019 Seocho-gu parking supply and demand survey, the area near Seocho Cultural Arts School is the largest illegal parking hotspot in Seocho 2-dong, with many waiting residents for resident-priority parking spaces.

Therefore, Seocho-gu expects that the establishment of a public parking lot here will alleviate parking difficulties in the surrounding neighborhood streets, greatly improving residents' quality of life and revitalizing the local commercial district.

Mayor Jo Eun-hee stated, “The relocation of the Office of Education is expected to greatly contribute to the educational development of Seocho-gu,” and added, “Going forward, the two organizations will join forces to accelerate the creation of an educational happy city where students, parents, and schools can all smile.”
