[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is constructing a new building for the Sanggye 5-dong Community Center.

The existing community center, built 35 years ago, had become outdated and cramped, limiting the operation of various programs desired by residents, and the lack of convenient facilities for residents had consistently raised the need for a new building.

The new building, located at 434 Hangeulbiseok-ro near Gyesang Elementary School, will be constructed with a total budget of 5.48 billion KRW, featuring one basement floor and four above-ground floors with a total floor area of 1,272㎡, and is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2022.

Particularly, the district has focused on expanding resident convenience facilities. While the existing community center had only one lecture room, three additional lecture rooms will be added, and the auditorium will be expanded to enable the operation of various programs. A table tennis room and a small library will also be included.

Looking at the detailed floor plans, the basement level 1 (289.05㎡) will be designed to support residents' leisure activities with a table tennis room, lecture rooms, and a storage area.

The first floor (198.74㎡) will house the civil service office, waiting area, and resident registration office for residents' administrative convenience. The second floor (308.80㎡) will contain office spaces and a small library. The small library will secure additional shelving and reading areas through efficient space arrangement, creating a more comfortable reading environment.

The third floor (248.02㎡) will be developed as a large auditorium accommodating 130 people, and the fourth floor (228.12㎡) will be used as a multipurpose room, residents' autonomy committee office, and the neighborhood headquarters.

Additionally, an elevator will be installed to accommodate people with mobility challenges such as the disabled, and the rooftop will be designed as a garden to serve as a resting space for residents.

Meanwhile, the district is also establishing improvement plans suitable for local conditions, including reconstruction and relocation, for other community centers that are outdated or have poor accessibility. The Gongneung 1-dong Community Center, which was located in a hard-to-reach area, is planned to be relocated to a station area near Gongneung Station on Subway Line 7 along Dongil-ro. Furthermore, plans are underway to construct a new Junggye Bon-dong Community Center, which currently suffers from cramped space and outdated facilities.

The district intends to continue phased investments so that each community center can serve not only as a provider of administrative services but also as a hub for resident-led village community activities.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok stated, “We decided to build a new community center to create a place where residents want to visit frequently,” and added, “We will continue to carry out the project without delay to provide better administrative services in the future.”
