The DESIGN HUB, home to Dongduk Women's University School of Design & Innovation, began construction in July 2020 and was completed last August. The building has four basement floors and seven above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 1,770 pyeong. It features specialized design learning facilities such as advanced lecture rooms, practice rooms, research labs, and computer rooms, as well as rooftop rest areas, lobby lounges, outdoor landscaped rest areas, and event spaces.

Since July 1995, Dongduk Women's University has contributed to nurturing core design talents in Korea by establishing the 'Dongduk Design Research Center' in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, the heart of design, to provide specialized and field-oriented pioneering education. The newly established DESIGN HUB at Dongduk Women's University is expected to serve as a landmark in Cheongdam-dong, a global design street, acting as a hub for design. It will also carry on Dongduk's valuable educational heritage and be used for cultural and artistic activities by future-oriented, convergent talents.
