In response to the donation of 3 billion won by an anonymous benefactor for the development of undergraduates, a development fund of 1.8 billion won donated by an anonymous professor has drawn attention. Handong Global University(President Chang Soon-Heung) held a ceremony on the 8th to mark the completion of the Cornerstone Hall, which was built with a total of 4.8 billion won donated by a sponsor and an in-school professor. The academy's long-cherished project was to have a spacious and pleasant private space for the 186 students enrolled in the School of Spatial Environment System Engineering. Then in October 2015, at an alumni meeting in Seoul, a fund-raising campaign was held for the construction of an undergraduate building. An anonymous benefactor who heard the news donated a large sum of 3 billion won in December that year.

During the construction process, the 2,644-square-meter building area was increased to 3,471 square meters, increasing the budget to 4.8 billion won. Upon learning of the situation, an anonymous professor donated 1.8 billion won, and after a year of the construction period, a building dedicated to undergraduate students was completed. At the request of the donors, the design, supervision, and construction of the building were carried out by the JUN architectural firm and ITM E&C which was founded by the alumni of the Department of Space and Environmental Systems Engineering. The building built with the sincerity of alumni consists of a high-tech lecture room, a cafe, a professor's research room, a seminar room, a library, and a design practice room. Currently, the two donors, who donated a total of 4.8 billion won expressed to remain anonymous.

"The building, built with your beautiful donation, will be a cornerstone of the infinite development of Handong," President Chang Soon-Heung said at the ceremony. "Beautiful donations will become a history of Handong and remain a valuable building for future education." "On behalf of the 5,000 Handong families, I deeply thank you both."

On the other hand, Handong Global University's School of Space and Environmental Systems Engineering is comprised of two majors, a construction major, and an urban environment engineering major, offering convergence education under the motto of "Space Environment Design for Neighborhood." Currently, it has turned out more than 800 graduates and works as an expert at all levels of the field, most of them going to prestigious graduate schools in and out of Korea or working at leading companies, public organizations, and NGO organizations.
