Hacettepe University, located in the capital of Turkey, Ankara, recognized the need to provide a better education and work environment to their community. In order to carry out this purpose, the university decided to make alterations in the campus's design and construction.
As BRN Architects, we created a multipurpose building in close cooperation with the school, which contains a library, cafeteria, classrooms, dining hall, cafeteria, multipurpose conference halls, sport courts and common spaces. The outcome is a campus that is prepared for the future and provides its faculty and students with the resources they need for advanced education.
Hacettepe University - Beykent Campus offers students a safe and comfortable campus life on the outskirts of Ankara. The Faculty of Education has an inner courtyard located in its center and a cyclical setup is planned around where all educational activities and student life will take place, which also allows for the use of daylight in the interior. On the roof there is a green terrace designed for the faculty and students to have a break in nature, with multiple seating options for larger groups. The campus gives life to the inner courtyard with the dynamism of the classrooms and offices in line with green life, where the corridors oriented to the inner courtyard come alive within the campus life.
