Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has been selected for the 2023 Public Building Green Remodeling Contest organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and will promote a green remodeling project targeting five senior centers.

The Public Building Green Remodeling project aims to improve insulation and facilities of senior centers, daycare centers, and other buildings that have been completed for more than 10 years, increasing the energy efficiency of buildings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The district applied for five aging senior centers and secured 592 million KRW in national funds and 355 million KRW in city funds, investing a total project cost of 1.185 billion KRW to complete the green remodeling by the end of 2024.

The targets are ▲ Yongma Senior Center (Junggok 3-dong) ▲ Sinyang Senior Center (Jayang 3-dong) ▲ Jayang 4-dong 2nd Senior Center ▲ Mojin Senior Center (Hwayang-dong) ▲ Yangma Senior Center (Gundam-dong), totaling five locations.

In particular, the Jayang 4-dong 2nd Senior Center was selected as a signature project. The signature project involves remodeling with eco-friendly and pioneering design and construction methods, and the Jayang 4-dong 2nd Senior Center is expected to be developed as a representative building of the area.

District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “We have promoted green remodeling of senior centers so that the elderly can stay cool in summer and warm in winter,” adding, “We will continue to improve the environment of senior centers for healthy living.”
