On August 31st, CWNU held a presentation on ‘Turfing Grounds Project’ in the Education Hall auditorium. The presentation provided an agenda to describe the contents of grounds-turfing project for CWNU faculty, professors, and students.

The presentation began with a greeting by CWNU president Park Seong-Ho. He expressed regret that a lot of faculty, professors, and students could not attend the presentation. After the greeting, Kim Dong-Ju, who is the chief of Facility Affairs Section, gave some background on the project and the contents of the memorandum of understanding with a private enterprise, Saegi. The key points included in the background were: the aging of the grounds, the request of General Students’ Association in 2006, and the commitment of the president of CWNU.

The details include the installation of facilities such as a soccer field, two futsal pitches, a basketball court, two foot-volleyball courts, a croquet lawn, an arena each for long jump & Ssireum, lighting equipment, and the administration building. The proposed administration building will include facilities such as a health club, indoor golf driving range, and snack bar.
