The Hongik University Innovation Growth Campus Development Project is the first large-scale master plan established since the university\u2019s founding, aiming to create new space equivalent to half of the current campus area. To overcome the spatial limitations of the Seoul campus with more than 30% of its buildings aging, built over 50 years ago, and saturated with limited possibility for additional facilities due to floor area ratio restrictions, the university designated an Innovation Growth Zone within the campus and launched the so-called \u201cNew Hongik\u201d project. With a planned underground campus floor area of 100,000 square meters, the project is the largest of its kind in South Korea, aiming to create a campus town where the city, architecture, and nature harmoniously interact through the unique \u201cHongdae culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this purpose, five teams were invited to the international design competition held in 2023. OMA\u2019s proposal was selected as the winning entry, and subsequently, Junglim Architecture was chosen as the lead architectural office through a competition for domestic design partnership. Junglim Architecture will oversee design and supervision, and through a partnership with Hongik University and OMA, spatially realize the \u201cNew Hongik\u201d campus in an international context, coexisting with the distinctive culture of Hongdae streets. The project aims to break down the physical boundaries between the university and the city, serve as an impetus for campus regeneration, and redefine the university\u2019s role of contributing not only to its members but also to visitors and the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
