According to the Gwangju Office of Education on the 4th, Nongseong Elementary School was selected as a target for the Green Smart School project in 2021. Starting in 2023, approximately 25 billion KRW was invested to construct a new four-story building with a total floor area of 8,963 square meters.

The new facility includes smart classrooms, a STEAM science lab, a VR experience room, family-friendly restrooms, and a multi-purpose hub space. The two- to three-story library features natural lighting and provides spaces for reading, discussion, and self-study.

The city education office designed the school spaces by reflecting the opinions of stakeholders. Superintendent Lee Jungseon stated, "We will ensure that the school becomes a hub for the educational community."
