The council decided to expand the building in preparation for an increase in staff due to the revision of the Local Autonomy Act, which includes the independence of personnel authority for local councils and the phased hiring of policy support professionals.
A judging committee composed of university professors, architects, and provincial public architects evaluated two submissions for the design competition, selecting the winning design after presentations by each participating firm, Q&A sessions, and discussions among the judges.
The expanded building will be constructed on a site area of 3,872.03㎡ with a total floor area of 2,955㎡, consisting of one building with one basement floor and three above-ground floors.
A total construction cost of 8.1 billion KRW will be invested, with building-related facilities located in the basement, a public empathy hall on the first floor, and council members' research offices on the second and third floors.
The council plans to complete the design by November through negotiations with the winning firm, start the expansion construction within this year, and complete it by November next year.
