The front gate, which is to be a two-story “hanok” (a traditional housing of Korea), will also be used as a venue for liberal arts classes.
The state-run university said on Monday that the gate will work as a bridge between the university and the local community.
The university, located in the city of Jeonju, two hours away from Seoul, is famous for its traditional hanok village.
