On the 26th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government held the 6th Urban Planning Committee meeting and announced on the 27th that it had approved the detailed facility development plan for urban planning facilities, including the construction of the new Medical Building at Hanyang University in 17 Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu, as well as the original proposal for height relaxation within the natural landscape district.

The master plan for Hanyang University Hospital involves demolishing the aging 1st Medical Building and the Biomedical Research Building and constructing a new Hanyang University Hospital by 2028 on the same site to complete an integrated medical cluster.

This review concerns the construction of a new Medical Building to replace the old teaching building scheduled for demolition. The new building will be three basement levels to seven floors above ground, proceeding with the necessary steps to realize the hospital master plan. Additionally, the Computer Learning Center, originally planned to be located underground in the existing plaza, has been redesigned as an underground parking lot, taking advantage of its location near the school entrance.

The Integrated Computer Center was abolished after analysis showed it would be more efficient for each college building to operate its own facilities. The underground parking lot plan will reduce vehicle traffic, thereby creating a safer educational environment for students.

The construction project for the Hanyang University Medical Building is scheduled to begin in the first half of this year, with completion targeted for the second half of 2025.
