LG Science Park

The chairman of LG Group had a vision: Merge LG’s eight affiliate companies into a single research site in Seoul and infuse this next-generation campus with the company’s “innovation for a better life” esprit de corps.

That vision became reality in LG Science Park, a 26-building campus designed to inspire 24,000 LG researchers, engineers, scientists and visitors at work on tomorrow’s new products and discoveries. Located in Seoul’s R&D-focused Magok District, the campus is the world research headquarters for LG Group’s consumer electronics business and a new scientific hub for South Korea.

HOK’s design propels scientific breakthrough by stimulating the synergies among people, places and activities. Though it’s one of the world’s largest corporate research campuses, LG’s people have opportunities for interaction.

Scientists and architects recognize that innovation emerges knowledge and imagination, which is why LG Science Park offers a mix of spaces for teamwork, individual reflection and discovery.

Developed in close collaboration with LG, HOK’s design mirrors the company’s aspirations to create “advanced technology, beautifully designed.” Individual buildings exhibit the same elegance of form as LG’s consumer products, which feature streamlined, elegant exteriors wrapped around cutting-edge technology.

From a distance the campus appears pixelated, with each building having its own identity and entrance. Closer inspection reveals the buildings also function as a cohesive whole, connecting to each other through ground-levelamenity spaces that appear to grow out of the landscape and third-floor bridges. The campus is also united by a landscaped promenade that serves as both a public park and gathering space for employees.
