Kumho Asiana Paulus Hall
Completed in December 2009 (officially dedicated in February 2010), the Kumho Asiana Paulus Hall was built through the generous contributions of the Kumho Asiana Group and Sogang University alumni. The building was named to commemorate these vital donations and serves as a cornerstone of the Sogang Business School’s academic infrastructure.
The hall is a modern facility spanning two basement levels and nine above-ground floors, with a total gross floor area of 8,526.73m^2. It is equipped with cutting-edge technology and a variety of convenience facilities designed to foster an optimal learning and research environment.
The building is named after St. Paul (Paulus), one of the most pivotal figures in Christian history and a preeminent evangelist. Known as the "Apostle to the Gentiles," St. Paul was an outstanding intellectual of his time who successfully laid the foundations of Christianity through his profound scholarship and unwavering mission, even amidst great trials. Notably, he was a saint who valued both intellectual rigor and manual labor, such as tent-making. Kumho Asiana Paulus Hall was established to honor this spirit of integrating high academic achievement with practical dedication.
The building houses various academic and student-centric spaces, including classrooms, reading rooms, group study rooms, faculty offices.
- 1F: Paulus Lounge (a dedicated space for relaxation and interaction) and A Twosome Place (café).
- 3F: Reading Rooms and multiple Group Study Rooms for collaborative learning.
- 4F: MBA Lounge and Master’s Research Labs, providing a focused environment for advanced studies.
- Other Levels: Faculty offices, high-tech classrooms, and residential spaces (dormitory).
