An open space dedicated solely to the citizens of Ulsan has been created at Ulsan City Hall.

Ulsan City has completed a project to renovate the first-floor lobby of the main city hall building into a space combining culture and relaxation, and will open it to the public starting April 1.

Since the construction of the main building in 2008, Ulsan City had used the lobby for various offices, but many people felt it created a stuffy atmosphere.

In response, Ulsan City began renovation work in October of last year, installing a library, exhibition hall, and meeting area. From today, the first floor of City Hall is now open to citizens.

The lobby space now features an open library with over 8,000 books, allowing visitors to relax and read, as well as an international exchange exhibition hall displaying various souvenirs received from international sister cities such as those in Japan and China.

On the west side of the lobby, BNK Ulsan Gyeongnam Bank and NH Nonghyup, the city's treasury banks, have relocated from Annex 1, making banking services available on-site.

There is also an information search center where computers are available for internet use, and a free legal counseling room offering free consultations on difficult legal matters.

Additionally, the civil service information desk and security office have been expanded to provide more comfortable assistance to visitors. A large LED display has been installed on the wall next to the information desk to promote city policies and showcase Ulsan tourist attractions through video.

An Ulsan City official stated, "This project was carried out to fully open the city hall as an open space for citizens. We will continue to manage the city hall so that it becomes a space for relaxation, leisure, and culture by operating the lobby as a tour course for children, teenagers, and citizens in connection with the ecological garden in the city hall yard."
