KOGL Type 4Korea Heritage Service · khs.go.kr

The main building of the College of Medicine is symmetrical about its central entrance, with spaces arranged along a single-loaded corridor; its high ceilings and the long vertical windows this called for give the exterior its distinctive emphasis on verticality. Built in 1957 as a school building for the College of Pharmacy, it has been used as the main building of the College of Medicine since around 1962. Alongside its historical value for the university itself, it is valuable for clearly showing the character of contemporary building technology and of university teaching facilities of its time.
