[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-seong] The completion ceremony for the new headquarters of Uiwang Urban Development Corporation (President Noh Seong-hwa) was held successfully on the 9th at the multipurpose auditorium of the new building.

The ceremony was attended by approximately 300 people, including Uiwang Mayor Kim Seong-je, City Council Speaker Seo Chang-soo, provincial assembly members, city council members, local residents, and corporation employees including President Noh Seong-hwa.

The new headquarters of Uiwang Urban Development Corporation, which began construction in March of last year and has been actively advancing, was built with the goal of creating a citizen-centered open public building. The structure has a total floor area of 6,140㎡, comprising 2 underground levels and 5 above-ground levels.

Office spaces on the 3rd through 5th floors above ground ensure a comfortable working environment for employees, while the first floor is designed with multipurpose meeting spaces, resident lounges, and an auditorium to allow local residents to easily access the building and use its convenient facilities.

In particular, the 2nd and 3rd floors have operational spaces for the 'Vocational Education and Training Center' and 'Youth Development Hub,' core initiatives of the 9th elected administration aimed at creating citizen jobs and supporting youth, with a target opening in the second half of this year.

Additionally, the building has been certified for Barrier-Free Environment (BF) certification, Building Energy Efficiency Grade certification, Zero-Energy Building certification, and Green Building certification, establishing it as a sustainable public building that considers socially disadvantaged groups and contributes to realizing carbon neutrality.

President Noh Seong-hwa stated, "I sincerely thank all the employees who did their best in their respective positions to successfully complete the new headquarters construction and relocation in the first half of this year, as well as all related parties including Uiwang City and the City Council." He added, "On the occasion of our 15th anniversary, from our newly established home, we will leap forward as a public enterprise that is trusted by citizens and grows together with the local community with an increasingly innovative approach."

Mayor Kim Seong-je said, "I hope that the newly established headquarters will serve as a solid foundation leading to greater growth and development of the Urban Development Corporation." He continued, "I anticipate that the Urban Development Corporation will continue to grow as a public enterprise trusted by citizens based on expertise and innovation capabilities."
