Daejeon City will invest a total of 49 billion won to construct the "Daejeon National Safety Experience Center," which will have a total floor area of 6,000 square meters. Construction is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026, with the center opening in 2028.


On August 22, the city finalized the design submitted by Huan Architects (CEO Kang Kisoo) as the winning entry in the design competition review committee for the Daejeon National Safety Experience Center construction project.


The center is being established to actively respond to the increasingly diverse and large-scale disasters and accidents, and to raise public awareness of safety.


It will be built on a site of approximately 29,000 square meters at the Yuseong Library location in Gajeong-dong, Yuseong-gu, and will consist of one basement level and three above-ground floors. The building will be classified as a cultural and assembly facility, and will feature seven experience zones, eleven experience rooms, and a total of thirty-five experience programs.


The center will allow visitors to virtually experience various disaster scenarios, including earthquakes, fires, traffic accidents, and everyday safety situations. It is planned to serve as a comprehensive safety education space for children, teenagers, and adults alike.


Based on the winning design, the city will complete the basic and detailed designs from September 2025 to June 2026, with construction set to begin in the second half of 2026. The project aims to be completed by 2028.



An official from the Daejeon City Construction Management Headquarters stated, "The Daejeon National Safety Experience Center is a project that has incorporated design considerations from the planning stage. Once completed, it will become a new landmark in Daejeon and contribute to enhancing the city's brand value. We will thoroughly implement the project to ensure it becomes the nation's top space for citizens to learn about and experience safety."
