The Government Complex Daejeon was built as the third government building to relieve overcrowding of the metropolitan area -- which intensified in the late 1980s -- and to achieve balanced regional development.
In September 1990, the development district in the new town in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon was decided as the site. The construction kick-started with the confirmation and announcement of the plan for the relocation of the central administrative agency to regional cities.
The third Government Building -- currently the Government Complex Daejeon -- had a symbolic meaning of distributing central administrative agencies to the central and local areas, relieving the overcrowded population of the metropolitan area, and playing a leading role in balanced national development.
Accordingly, the government set the basic direction for the construction of the Government Complex Daejeon as a dignified and modern government building suitable for the era of localization, globalization, and information, as well as a landmark symbolizing the city and a government building that leads the vitalization of local cities. Construction was commenced in September 1993 and was completed in December 1997.
