[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is constructing the Guui 2-dong Complex Building, which includes a community service center, library, family center, and public parking lot, on three parcels of land at Guui-dong 63-7 and two others.

The construction of the complex building was initiated to meet the needs of the local community by rebuilding the aging community center and providing various resident convenience facilities to contribute to the welfare of residents.

The new building will have a total floor area of 6,139.26㎡ with 3 basement levels and 5 above-ground floors. It will be built on a total site area of 1,506.7㎡, including the existing site of the current Guui 2-dong community center and public parking lot (Guui-dong 63-7, 63-6) and an additional purchased site (Guui-dong 63-27).

The basement levels 1 to 3 will house a total of 83 parking spaces for both private and public use. The first floor will feature a library, the second floor will accommodate the community service center, the third and fourth floors will include a family center with a communal childcare room and education spaces, and the fifth floor will have an auditorium with 246 seats, transforming the building into a multifunctional living and cultural space.

The complex building, which began full-scale construction earlier this month, has completed preliminary certifications for energy efficiency ratings, zero energy, green building, and barrier-free living environment since May last year during the basic and detailed design phases. It is scheduled to be completed by August 2023.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, stated, “Although Guui 2-dong is a residential area with over 27,000 residents, it has been severely lacking in cultural and welfare facilities. Once the complex building is completed, it is expected to become a regional landmark functioning as a resident living space that integrates culture, welfare, and administration.”
