Dear Members of the Yonsei Global Community,

 

We are sharing an updated notice from the Housing Office of Yonsei University for your reference, as of May 21st.

To students planning to reside in Woojungwon for the 2024 summer programs:

 

We are aware that recent concerns have arisen following a post on an anonymous Yonsei University student online forum regarding Woojungwon uploaded on May 18.

 

On the same day, the Office of Facilities immediately conducted an on-site assessment of the building. Subsequently, on May 20, representatives and structural safety engineers from government agencies, including the Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Seodaemun-gu Office, conducted a joint evaluation to examine the issue thoroughly.

 

Based on this initial assessment, the team concluded, “There are no structural issues compromising the safety of Woojungwon, but rather imperfections and subsequent aging of the floor tile finishing work had affected the area.”

 

Nevertheless, Yonsei University is taking further steps to complete a comprehensive safety evaluation of Woojungwon. Beginning today May 21, building safety inspection professionals will conduct a meticulous diagnostic assessment of the building.

 

The Housing Office of Yonsei University looks forward to receiving encouraging results, which are expected to be announced by late May or early June, and we will ensure the disclosure of the assessment outcome.

 

We fully understand and empathize with the concerned students who plan to reside in Woojungwon this summer and as their family members, and we are committed to making all efforts that will contribute to improving Woojungwon's facilities and accommodation.

 

Thank you

 

21st May 2024
