Dormitory for foreigners located on the Anam campus of Korea University.

Over the next month, 150 rooms in the building will serve as hospital beds at the Life Therapy Center.

This is the first university residence in the metropolitan area.

Previously, the city of Seoul sent cooperation requests to 8 private universities, including the University of Korea, to provide dormitories as life treatment centers.

Yonsei University also accepted this and began construction of the dormitory building.

Kyunghee University also decided to launch a dormitory, but the city of Seoul was considering whether it could be used as a bed.

[경희대학교 관계자 : 국가적으로 필요한 상황이라 학교에서 대승적 차원에서 결정한 것 같고요. 아직 합의가 안 돼서 저희 기숙사를 생활치료센터로 쓴다고 말할 수 있는 상황은 아니에요.]

First, the University of Seoul, which decided the policy of operating the life treatment center, had 270 students in the dormitory move to nearby hotels and other accommodations, and construction began.

Seoul National University is consulting with the City Council on a plan to provide a faculty building instead of dormitories.

[서울대학교 관계자 : 학생들을 옮기진 않아도 되고, 그 대신 단점은 보상의 문제라든지 또 주변 시설이 많거든요.]

Seoul City explained that it plans to install four dormitory living treatment facilities this year and operate them during winter break when students are unable to enter.
