Goyang Special City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Lee Dong-hwan) announced on the 29th that it will promote the 'Daehwa Library Green Remodeling Project Architectural Design Competition' until November 18.

The purpose of this design competition is to improve energy efficiency through the green remodeling of the aging Daehwa Library, thereby achieving energy savings and low-carbon green growth, and creating a comfortable environment for library users.

The Goyang City Daehwa Library plans to remodel the entire exterior wall of the building, which consists of one basement floor and four above-ground floors with a total floor area of 3,901㎡, with a total project cost of 3.4 billion KRW (including 270 million KRW in national and provincial subsidies and 200 million KRW for design fees), aiming to reopen in 2026.

The architectural design competition will select the winning entry through a judging committee, conducted in a proposal competition format that evaluates the designer's experience and capabilities. Registration for participation will be accepted until the 4th of next month, and submissions will be received until the 18th.

A representative from the Library Center stated, "We will strive to fairly and smoothly carry out the Daehwa Library Green Remodeling Project to transform it into a highly energy-efficient local library."
