Main Gate

The uniquely shaped main gate is a granite structure, or rather, a sculpture, standing 10.7m high. The two rectangular towers face each other, each with the center portion hollowed out in the shape of the Chinese character凸; one symbolizes science, the other, technology.

Duck Pond

The Duck Pond, located as you enter the campus, is where the ducks, which resemble KAIST, reside. You often see ducks walking freely on the grass after taking a swim, to either ponder or enjoy snacks given by visitors.
