The groundbreaking ceremony for the New International Residence was held on the morning of August 6 in the parking lot east of the student residence building. The New International Residence will be constructed in an area measuring 1,200 square meters and boast a total building area of 10,100 square meters; it will have nine floors, and rooms and amenities for around 450 international students and faculty members.

Dr. Ahn Jae-hwan, President of Ajou University, explained that the residence’s construction was a key project of Ajou Vision 2023, a blueprint for transforming the university into a global center of education. He also expressed a hope that the residence would help to enhance the international and cosmopolitan status of Ajou University.
