Since joining the Chung-Ang University Foundation in 2008, Doosan had made its name as one of the most generous donors among the foundations of Korea’s major private universities in two years, contributing to the expansion of research and educational facilities.

In an effort to improve the landscape of the campus and the surrounding environment, Doosan has refurbished and restored the Young-shin Hall, Chung-Ang Square, main gate and asphalt pavements inside the campus.
