[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) will operate a temporary office starting from the 22nd to minimize inconvenience to residents ahead of the construction of the new Pungnap 2-dong Community Center (Toseong-ro 64).

The temporary office will be located on the 3rd floor at 52 Toseong-ro, Songpa-gu, and will also house the integrated civil service and resident welfare counters, as well as the Reserve Forces Dong Headquarters, all relocated to the same building.

The existing community center, built in 1987, had become outdated and cramped, insufficient to meet the increasing administrative demands and the cultural and welfare needs of residents.

In particular, the facility was flooded during the 1990 Han River flood, making maintenance very difficult.

Through this construction, the Pungnap Police Substation and Pungnap Daycare Center, which were built together with the old community center and had become severely aged, will also be newly renovated.

The new Pungnap 2-dong complex center will integrate the existing community center, Pungnap Police Substation (Toseong-ro 64), and Pungnap Daycare Center sites (Toseong-ro 60), covering a site area of 1,257㎡ and a total floor area of 3,296.03㎡, with construction spanning from one basement floor to four above-ground floors.

The main facilities on each floor include ▲1st floor: civil service office and welfare consultation room ▲2nd floor: conference room and archive ▲3rd floor: resident shared space ▲4th floor: multipurpose room and Dong Headquarters.

As a public building constructed within a historic cultural environment preservation area, the architecture incorporates historical design elements such as exterior walls reflecting Baekje culture, specialized spaces embodying traditional culture, and interior designs inspired by Pungnap Fortress. The new community center is scheduled for completion in October 2022.

Meanwhile, the district office is actively promoting the operation of the temporary office through banners, newsletters, and social media.

Relocation to the temporary office will be completed after work hours on the 19th, utilizing the weekend, with normal operations starting on the 22nd.

Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “We will minimize residents’ inconvenience through swift relocation to the temporary office and active promotion,” adding, “We will devote all efforts to creating a complex center that satisfies the residents of Pungnap 2-dong.”
