Due to the inability of the current Faculty of Dentistry to meet the increasing demand from students and patients, a new faculty building has been designed. The design was inspired by the architectural character of the campus, originating from competitions and constructions in the 1960s.
The sloped topography of the site was utilized to arrange entrances for different functions at varying levels. Since both education and healthcare services are carried out simultaneously in dental faculties, the workflow between patients, dentists, and students was a decisive factor in the design. In addition, an atrium on the ground floor, serving heavily used spaces and providing a focal point for the upper floors, was planned as a shared hub for all units.
Farabi Hospital, which opened in 1986 with a capacity of 600 beds, was later expanded to 800 beds. As the current facility reached full capacity, the KTU Children’s Hospital was built on the eastern section of the development axis located south of the existing hospital.
The newly designed hospital has a capacity of 225 beds and includes clinics, polyclinics, diagnostic, and treatment units. With a total indoor area of 34,800 m², the facility provides 155 m² per inpatient bed.
The Entrepreneurship House Project will have a total indoor area of 925 m², consisting of a multipurpose hall, 12 offices, 1 meeting room, 1 game room, and 2 rest rooms.
This project aims to provide students and young entrepreneurs with an innovative and modern working environment where they can develop ideas and bring their projects to life. The completion of the project is planned for 2025.
The Directorate of International Relations, which provides an environment where students from different regions of Türkiye share their experiences and international students present their cultures, countries, and values, has opened its renovated building to service.
This new facility strengthens intercultural dialogue on campus and enhances the support provided to international collaborations, exchange programs, and cultural activities.
