Student Village
 

AGU Student Village has been made suitable for the use of students by the extensive repair of the workers' housing buildings belonging to the historical Sümerbank Cloth Factory and the rearrangement of the open areas. The old coal buildings are also used as office and warehouse areas with maintenance and repair operations.

A new building which was built within a purpose of a student center, was built by preserving the old two coal buildings in the area and making additions to the existing one. Open to students use; there is a jogging track, tennis court and basketball courts. In addition, our students who want to work together with the AGU Bostan project area, which is carried out by the Faculty of Architecture, can find the opportunity to team-build in this area.

There are 22 number of buildings in the area. In these buildings, our students live in the comfort of home with their own kitchens and bathrooms. 

There is 24/7 security protection in the area, and our students are safely accommodated with adequate lighting levels and environmental protection walls organized by our Department.
