Diorama (Model) of KSS’ Old Campus.

Below is a diorama (model) of KSS’ old campus in Seoul. KSS’ original campus (referred to as “The K.S.S. Receiving Home” in adoption documents, was torn down around 2016 when KSS sold its land for apartment building construction. The only remaining building is Building 1: Reception & File Room, which KSS currently uses as its Post Adoption Services building, where KSS Adoptees can still schedule an adoption file review meeting with one of the approximately 3 social workers who work there.
