Yonsei recently opened the “Design Garage” in the newly-finished College of Business Administration Building. The space is dedicated to promoting new start-ups. In its official statement on the Design Garage, the College of Business Administration said: “The educational vision for the next 100 years involves the cultivation of start-ups and corporate spirit. For the first time in South Korea, a university has its own trial manufacturing product lab, which includes state-of-theart three-dimensional printers.”

 

The College also emphasized that with the current state of the global economy, “most people agree that start-ups are the new engines for growth. The Design Garage will be a space for students to brainstorm, plan, and execute their design ideas. It will be an optimal place for innovative education.”

 

The Design Garage is equipped with four three-dimensional printers and seven computers, including the iMac. The space will be open to start-up student clubs, giving students the opportunity to learn by trial manufacturing new products. At the same time, College of Business Administration courses related to start-ups will be taught there, including “New Product Marketing.”
