Creation of a complex building with a total floor area of 5,295㎡ from basement level 2 to ground level 4... Housing Dong Community Center, daycare center, and senior welfare center to meet administrative and welfare needs for all households... 47 public parking spaces created underground to alleviate chronic parking issues in nearby residential areas

Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that the old and deteriorated Sinwol 7-dong Community Service Center has been relocated to a new building (Jiyang-ro 14-gil 17) for the first time in 34 years, and will officially begin operations on November 6.

The existing building was constructed 34 years ago and had become outdated and cramped, with insufficient parking spaces, leading to continuous demands from residents for a new community center. In response, the district invested 18.9 billion KRW to start construction of a complex community center on the former Gurumdari Public Parking Lot site in 2019, completing it last month.

The new Sinwol 7-dong Community Service Center has a total floor area of 5,295㎡, with 2 basement levels and 4 above-ground floors. Expanding beyond the traditional administrative service space, the center introduces a "complex" concept to provide administrative, cultural, and welfare services in a one-stop manner, expecting about 80,000 residents to visit annually.

The first floor houses the community center civil service office designed with consideration for socially vulnerable groups and a daycare center. The second floor includes a community hall program room, meeting rooms, and a large auditorium for residents' cultural enjoyment and communication. The third floor contains the integrated records center storing resident registration cards for all Yangcheon-gu neighborhoods, a multipurpose hall, and the neighborhood headquarters. The fourth floor is home to the relocated Sinwol Comprehensive Social Welfare Center’s Senior Welfare Center, offering customized programs to support seniors’ hobbies and health promotion.

Additionally, the basement levels 1 and 2 feature a public parking lot with 47 spaces to help alleviate chronic parking shortages in the nearby residential area.

The opening ceremony will be held on the 15th of this month, attended by Mayor Lee Gi-jae, members of the National Assembly, city and district council members, distinguished guests, and about 200 resident representatives. The event will include facility tours and a communication session to listen to voices from the field.

Mayor Lee Gi-jae of Yangcheon-gu said, “I am pleased that the construction of the Sinwol 7-dong Community Service Center, which has been promoted with the interest and affection of residents, has finally borne meaningful fruit. I hope that the Sinwol 7-dong Community Service Center, starting strong in the new building, will establish itself as an open communication space providing trusted administrative services.”
