Former Main Building of Hanyang University, Seoul

The Former Main Building of Hanyang University, Seoul was built in 1956 as the university's administrative headquarters shortly after the Korean War, during the development of the Hanyang University campus. Its exterior is finished in stone, and a colonnade stands at the centre of its facade, preserving the neoclassical design elements typical of university main buildings of the period. It is also highly significant as a symbol of the history of Hanyang University, the only university in Korea to have grown out of engineering, which produced the technical workforce that played a pivotal role during the period of economic development.
