Gyeonggi Provincial Civil Service Training Institute Dormitory to Be Reconsidered

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 16th that it plans to comprehensively reconsider the construction of a dormitory for the Gyeonggi Provincial Civil Service Training Institute.

During a briefing on business operations on the 14th, Governor Kim Mun-soo stated, "The Government Innovation Human Resources Development Institute, which is under the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and located near the Civil Service Training Institute, is scheduled to relocate to Jeonbuk Innovation City in 2012," and instructed, "Please explore ways to use that building as a dormitory."

Currently, the Gyeonggi Provincial Civil Service Training Institute is rent-free borrowing one dormitory building from the Government Innovation Human Resources Development Institute. However, as the building was constructed 26 years ago, it has deteriorated significantly, causing difficulties in repairs and maintenance.

Accordingly, since 2004, the Civil Service Training Institute has been pursuing the construction of its own dormitory with a budget of 15.3 billion won, consisting of a basement level and eight stories above ground with a total floor area of 2,380 pyeong, capable of accommodating approximately 250 people per day.

Previously, the Civil Service Training Institute completed the basic detailed design in the previous year at a cost of 300 million won. However, following the government's announcement of its public institution relocation plan, the building construction costs have not been reflected in this year's budget.

An official from the Civil Service Training Institute stated, "If the Government Innovation Human Resources Development Institute relocates according to the government plan, we will have no choice but to reconsider constructing a new dormitory," and added, "We will compare remodeling the existing building with new construction to find alternatives."
