The Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education will hold a design consultation meeting on Tuesday at its provincial office to plan the construction of a School Meal Education Center.

The center will be Gyeongsangbuk-do's first hands-on nutrition and dietary education facility. It will be created by renovating and partially expanding the former Sangju Nakdong Dongbu Elementary School, which has closed.


The project will receive a total investment of 9.84 billion won. Plans call for expanding the facility by 660 square meters and renovating 1,243 square meters of existing space.


The center will provide practical, specialized training for school meal service workers and school staff. It will also operate as an open educational space that students and local residents can use.


Attendees at the meeting included the facilities division chief, officials from the Physical Education and Health Division, and representatives from the school nutrition and meal service sectors. They discussed the center's main functions, spatial layout, and facility site plan.


In particular, attendees reviewed and selected a floor plan for the center and finalized the site plan, taking into account the routes for outside vehicles and food ingredients.


The plans were refined to improve convenience and safety for users and ensure the smooth delivery of food ingredients and operation of the facility.



Lim Jongsik, superintendent of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education, said, "Building on the discussions at this design consultation meeting, we will create a space that provides high-quality specialized training in school meals and dietary education, supports healthy eating habits among students and parents, and helps spread a positive food culture."
