Campus Facilities
A Beautiful, Peaceful Campus
Located in the Heart of Korea
The TCIS campus is often described as idyllic; visitors frequently comment on the peaceful setting. The TCIS campus is situated on a green 10-acre hill overlooking Techno Valley, Daejeon. With mountains and the Gapcheon River to the east, an orchard on the south, a golf course to the north, and the beautiful neighborhood of Techno Valley below to the west, the school sits in a location between cutting-edge research and the beautiful natural landscape of Korea. It really is a perfect place to engage in education.
Techno Valley is a diverse neighborhood, different in many ways to other parts of Daejeon. There are many businesses and services located within walking distance which support a secure comfortable lifestyle for the school, its students, and its employees. The newly-built Hyundai Shopping Plaza is a 10-minute walk from the campus and offers many options for shopping, dining, cafes, and a cinema. This is a fun weekend hangout place for everyone.

These facilities are situated on the upper part of campus and provide a lovely central community space during those times when competitions are not being held.
