Since its reconstruction in 2005, it has been opened with the goal of communication between the university and the community. 3 floors above ground and 3 floors below ground with a total area of 4,486 m², there are no entrances between the spaces so spaces are connected organically.

규장각한국연구원
'규 (Kyu)' of Kyujanggak is the name of the star that controls the sentence, and '규장 (Kyujang)' means the emperor's handwriting. Thus, ‘규장각 (Kyujangak)’ means “building that kept the handwritten texts of the king or emperor.” Kyujanggak was first established in 1694 (20th year of King Sukjong), and since its inception in 1776, the function of Kyujanggak has been extended to institutions that nurture talents for the country. Kyujanggak was a treasure of human resources and a cradle of scholarship. In 1990, the current building of Kyujanggak was completed, and the books of Kyujanggak were transferred. In 2006, Seoul National University Kyujanggak and Seoul National University Korea Culture Research Institute were merged into a research institution called Kyujanggak Korean Studies Institute.

강감찬 생가
Gang Gam-chan's birthplace, designated as the 3rd monument of Seoul on August 21, 1974, is the home of general Gang Gam-chan (948-1031), who defeated 100,000 troops of Georan. The birthplace was called Nakseongdae because the big star fell from the sky on the day of birth. There is a three-story stone pagoda of the Goryeo Dynasty that tells the location of Nakseongdae. In 1973, during the cleanup of Nakseongdae, the three-story pagoda was moved to the grounds of Nakseongdae Park Anguksa Temple. In the Goryeo Dynasty, the place name was Geumcheon, and a three-storied pagoda was built to signify the birthplace of the general.
