Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) held the opening ceremony of the Junghwa 2-dong Complex Building on the 22nd.

The existing Junghwa 2-dong community center was built in 1991 and had become old and cramped, causing inconvenience for many residents. As a result, there had been continuous demands for the construction of a new building.

To address this, the district planned to build a complex building equipped with a community center, library, and autonomous hall. Construction began in April 2023 with a total budget of 16.5 billion KRW, and operations started in the new space from January 13, 2025.

The newly opened Junghwa 2-dong Complex Building has one basement floor and five above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 3,051㎡, about three times larger than the previous building (938㎡). In particular, the Junghwa Literature Library located on the 3rd and 4th floors is the first customized specialized library operated in Jungnang-gu, offering a special space that provides various literary experiences such as introducing literary works, meetings with authors, performances, and film screenings.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “The new Junghwa 2-dong Complex Building, equipped with a library and a large auditorium, is expected to serve as a focal point for the local community where residents can use the facilities together and communicate.” He added, “We will strive to provide improved administrative and welfare services in this resident-centered space.”

The district is expanding the construction of complex buildings that go beyond the simple administrative functions of community centers to include culture, education, and leisure for residents. In July 2023, the Muk 2-dong Cultural and Sports Complex Center (gymnasium) was opened, offering various sports activities. In October 2024, the Myeonmok 7-dong Complex Building (Youth Culture and Arts Creation Center), which can be used as a cultural and artistic activity space for youth, will open. Additionally, the Myeonmok 2-dong Complex Building (public indoor playground) where children can play joyfully, and the Muk 1-dong Complex Building (health branch office and living culture center) providing community-based health care services and cultural and artistic enjoyment in daily life are also under construction.
