Medical School

Construction began in 1948 and was completed in 1951, during the Korean War; the building then served as the main building of Gwangju Medical College and as the headquarters of Chonnam National University, and it is now used as the university's Museum of Medicine. Compared with university buildings erected in the same period, it holds important historical and architectural significance — construction proceeded steadily even during the Korean War, its design shows refined modernism, and the connection between its masonry structure and reinforced-concrete slabs is well executed — giving it value as a nationally registered cultural heritage item.
