The new building's first floor houses the civil affairs office for administrative services, the second floor has a small library, the third floor includes a large auditorium and meeting rooms, the fourth floor contains program rooms, a dance studio, a community lounge, and the neighborhood security office, and the fifth floor features a fitness center. The basement levels 1 and 2 provide 24 parking spaces.

The new building was constructed through a public facility donation method as part of the Hwagok 6-dong Newlywed Hope Town apartment construction project. The district will hold an opening ceremony for the new community center at 10 a.m. on the 31st.

District Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon stated, “We will do our best to communicate with residents in the new, more spacious building and provide trusted administrative services.”
