The remodeling project to transform the former Dorim High School building in Dorim-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon, into a youth-specialized facility will begin in December 2025.


The Incheon city government began design services last year and is currently in the final stages. With a total project cost of 24.3 billion won, the facility is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2028.


The city plans to equip the facility with specialized spaces and equipment so that young people can engage in a wide range of activities, including career exploration, culture and arts, science and information, and environmental programs. The main building will be five stories tall, and the annex will have three stories, transforming the site into a creative cultural space exclusively for youth.

The annex will be designed as a cafe, library, and small gymnasium, creating a complex space that can be used not only by young people but also by all citizens.



An official from the Incheon city government stated, "We will do our best to make this a place where young people can develop their creativity and nurture their dreams."
