a place where students of SSU can study for exams, team projects, and assignments. However, as the facilities of the central library
were old and outdated, more students complained about their inconvenience. As a result, the student council has been encouraged to
initiate remodeling activities.
The scheduled remodeling period was set from December 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023. First, a space requested by students, such as a study room and a seminar room, will be added. Second, the restrooms will undergo renovation to remove underground odors and replace old tiles. Third, the reading room‘s ceiling, lighting, and flooring will be enhanced to make it more conducive for studying. Fourth, heating and cooling facilities will be upgraded. A centralized air conditioning and heating system as well as individual air conditioning for each room will be installed. Fifth, ducts would be replaced to improve air quality. Finally, there will be a rearrangement of the spaces. However, this entails a huge cost to the students. To overcome this hurdle, the method of using loans during the construction period will be revised. The classroom rental system was reorganized by securing a learning space. Also, the reorganization of the Hyungnam Memorial Engineering Building, the Jo Mansik Memorial Hall, and the Baird Hall has been confirmed. Finally, it will
take measures to extend the loan period and to expand the number of available loans. Furthermore, it will take measures to make all books accessible to the scope of reserved loan services
The remodeling of the central library will make Soongsilians' lives very uncomfortable throughout the construction period. However, improving the learning space will provide great benefit to students in the future. ST hopes that the remodeling of the central library will be successful.
