[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will renovate old restrooms in 17 schools this year into comfortable restrooms.

The Ulsan Office of Education has allocated 19 billion KRW in the main budget, nearly double last year, to actively reflect student opinions and improve school restrooms.

The old restroom improvement project will be carried out at five elementary schools including Yeonghwa Elementary School, six middle schools including Hyundai Cheongun Middle School, five high schools including Seongsin High School, and Taeyeon School.

In addition, two kindergartens, one elementary school, and two middle schools will continue the project and complete restroom improvements by this summer vacation.

The Ulsan Office of Education plans to renovate all 606 old restrooms in 53 schools by 2023.

The restroom improvement project incorporates surveys conducted with students of the respective schools from the planning and preparation stages, reflecting the results in the design.

Design participation by interior experts and others has been strengthened to create cultural restrooms that combine functional spaces with design.

The restrooms break away from existing stereotypes by featuring various configurations suited to students' eye levels, comfortable and cozy spaces with temperature and humidity control, and places where music broadcasts play, resulting in high satisfaction among students and staff.

Last summer vacation, restrooms at Gyeokdong Elementary School, Mipo Elementary School, Yeonam Elementary School, and Daehyeon Middle School were improved.

An official from the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education said, “We expect that students' participation in restroom design will create distinctive and diverse restrooms unique to each school.”
