Completion

The campus is divided into three complexes for lectures, theater, and a culture center. A road for pedestrians between the theater building and culture center becomes the main square of the campus, distributing traffic lines to each section. Since the land on which the theater building sits is part of a cultural asset,'Uireung', the building height was lowered and located in the basement theater to minimize destruction of the ridge and forest. The culture center includes a university administration building, library, student hall, and landscaped courtyard. The lecture hall complex allows vertical and horizontal movement through the spine and core of four buildings.
