Karadeniz Technical University Sürmene Abdullah Kanca Vocational School was built by the late philanthropist businessman Abdullah Kanca. He was a pioneer entrepreneur who started in the iron and steel sector by producing hammers and hand tools in a modest workshop, eventually transforming his company into a factory that supplies automotive parts to world-renowned car manufacturers.
The Kanca family prepared the school with all its infrastructure for education and handed it over to Karadeniz Technical University. A large portion of the laboratory equipment was also provided by the Kanca family.
The school is located 40 km from the airport (Trabzon and KTU), 250 meters from the Sürmene Ä°sminaz Kanca KYK Dormitory, 7 km from the Of Aşık Kutlu KYK Dormitory, and 30 km from the Yomra KYK Dormitory. Transportation is provided by municipal buses and private minibuses. The school is situated in a settlement where the blue of the sea meets the green of nature, and there is also a shipyard in the town.
