Engineering Hall 5 Groundbreaking Ceremony

Optimized space for advanced engineering and convergence research


On May 13, Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Engineering Hall 5 at the construction site between the Engineering Halls 2 and 3.

Yonsei University is building the Engineering Hall 5 to improve the quality of education and research of the College of Engineering through expanding educational and research spaces and facility improvement. Recently, the industrial structure has been reorganized to be centered on high-tech fields, and as semiconductors spread throughout the industries in general due to the digitalization of daily life in the post-COVID era, fostering high-tech professionals, including semiconductors, has become a hot topic of the times. The Engineering Hall 5 will be optimized for state-of-the-art engineering fields and convergence research, such as semiconductors and displays. It will be completed in December 2025 with a total floor area of 8,420 square meters, two basement floors, and seven floors above ground.



Many guests attended the groundbreaking ceremony for shoveling, including President Seoung Hwan Suh, members of the board, vice presidents and deans, professors of the College of Engineering, and executives from the architectural design company participating in this project.

"We are delighted to hold a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of building the Engineering Hall 5 in 2023, the 50th anniversary of building the Engineering Hall 1." Said President Suh in his groundbreaking speech, "The recent global competition in engineering research is in another sense a competition of high-tech equipment, and it inevitably requires more space. By building the Engineering Hall 5, we will create a research environment of a top-class university and foster talents in the post-COVID era to provide a global educational environment that can lead high-tech fields."
