Busan Transportation Corporation (President Lee Byungjin) is partnering with Busan Institute of Science and Technology to create a lifelong learning space accessible to all local residents in the underground shopping center between Deokcheon Station and Sukdeung Station on Busan Metro Line 3.

Under this agreement, the corporation will provide commercial space near Sukdeung Station, while Busan Institute of Science and Technology will transform it into a campus focused on employment and entrepreneurship for students and adult learners, keeping it open at all times.

Busan Institute of Science and Technology is expanding its "Visiting Campus" initiative as part of the Busan-style RISE (Regional Innovation System for Education) project. By establishing an open campus within the underground shopping center, the institution aims to improve access to learning and lay the foundation for community development.

Lee Byungjin, President of Busan Transportation Corporation, stated, "Resolving vacancies in the underground shopping center and revitalizing the local commercial district will not only have a positive impact, but also encourage greater use of the metro. We will develop this as a win-win model in which local public enterprises and universities work together."
