Korea University College of Medicine 1st Medical Building Remodeling

Korea University College of Medicine 1st Medical Building Remodeling

Originally built in 1991, the Korea University College of Medicine First Medical Building has undergone expansion and remodeling in five phases since 2014. The project scope includes a complete remodeling of the building-in-occupancy, addition of a sixth floor, and exterior renovations. Specific functions are designated on each floor: student welfare facilities on the first floor; research labs and student study rooms the second floor; laboratories and a lobby on the third floor; comprehensive practice rooms and a TBL (team-based learning) room on the fourth floor; a simulation center and media lab on the fifth floor; and a large lecture hall, an experimental animal research center, and a sky lounge on the sixth floor. The project also ensured coordination with the exterior designs of adjacent buildings completed in prior years — the main medical college building (2012), the Munsuk Medical Building (2014), and the High-Tech Convergence Medical Center (2022) — while adapting spaces to align with evolving educational methods.
