Chonnam National University’s School of Architecture ranked 8th in the Joongang Daily’s University Assessment conducted in 1996. It was also selected as an excellent School of Architecture (and engineering) by the Korean Council for University Education in 1999. Furthermore, the Biohousing Research Institute, where we played a central role, was selected as to receive the support of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, over a period of 10 years from 2005, as part of the project to foster regional research bases. The Biohousing Research Institute, designed to develop original technology, which will boost the regional industries related to environmentally-friendly architecture, significantly increased its research capability, and the research of the institute has been incorporated into the undergraduate and graduate courses in order to reinforce the synergy between education and research.
Students at the School of Architecture currently use engineering college building II. The building was extended in 2007 through a generous donation by School of Architecture alumnus Sang-Jun Choi. An exhibition hall was added to the first floor of the building in 2009 through a donation of another alumnus, Seung-Hyun Park. The Biohousing Structure Laboratory and Unit Laboratory were built through construction expenses that had been allocated for the Biohousing Research Project.
