[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Se-ryeong] The completion ceremony for the Welfare Building Future Hall of the Korea Institute of Materials Science in Changwon-si, Gyeongnam, was held on the morning of the 26th.

About 100 people attended the ceremony, including Heo Seong-mu, Mayor of Changwon Special City, Myung Seong-ho, President of the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute, Noh Chung-sik, Director of Gyeongnam Technopark, and Lee Sang-yeon, Chairman of the Gyeongnam Employers Federation.

The Korea Institute of Materials Science is a place where research is conducted to develop advanced material source technologies and domestic production of materials to lead the 4th Industrial Revolution era. In November 2020, it was promoted from the Materials Research Laboratory, an affiliated institute of the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, to the Korea Institute of Materials Science.

The establishment of the 2nd Materials Research Institute is being promoted in Changwon Special City and the Jinhae Advanced Industrial Research Complex, and the first project, the Power Unit Smart Manufacturing Center, is about to begin construction.

The Welfare Building of the institute, built in 1979, had structural safety issues due to its aging building and outdated facilities, so an environmental improvement project has been underway since 2019 to address these problems.

The Future Hall, with a total area of 6,383㎡, was built with one basement floor and eight above-ground floors, and includes dormitories, a cafeteria, a daycare center, and sports facilities.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu said, “Despite the unexpected crisis of Japan’s export restrictions, the institute was promoted, and it has grown together with the city as an important growth engine partner for fostering new manufacturing industries. We will continue to cooperate to promote industrial vitality through support for local companies and to foster future growth industries.”
