TAEYOUNG E&C consortium won the construction contract for four schools in Gyeonggi Province.
TAEYOUNG E&C noted on the 15th that it was selected as the qualified design contractor for the construction project of 'Dongtan 11 High School and three others,' which was commissioned by the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education.
The project involves the construction of four schools: Dongtan 11 High School (Hwaseong City), Dongtan 13 Middle School (Hwaseong City), Yangsan 1 Middle School (Osan City), and Bongdam 2-1 Elementary School (Hwaseong City), covering a total site area of 55,661 square meters. The total construction cost is 125.6 billion won (excluding VAT).
The project will be undertaken by TAEYOUNG E&C, which holds a 59% share of the project, along with Plus Construction (24%) and International Construction (17%). The design will be handled by DNB Architectural Office, DNB Partners Architectural Office, Haema Comprehensive Architectural Office, and IGA ACM Architectural Office.
The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education aimed to minimize existing issues such as delays in opening and construction defects by commissioning the project using a turnkey method, prioritizing technological capability. In particular, this project, which integrates the construction of multiple schools, is the first attempt at a technology-based bidding pilot project at the level of the education office.
The TAEYOUNG E&C consortium presented four key design concepts under the concept of 'Edu Ground' during this bidding process. The proposals included ▲'Community Ground,' a complex cultural plaza that coexists with the region ▲'Spectrum Ground,' for diverse learning and experiences for students ▲'Eco Ground,' a zero-energy and low-carbon educational space ▲'Utility Ground,' a process and quality management system utilizing smart construction technology.
A TAEYOUNG E&C official said, "We will do our best to ensure responsible construction and quality assurance, contributing to the growth of students by creating a space where diverse education and experiences are possible, and helping the school to establish itself as a cultural hub that collaborates with the local community."
