Due to its central location, the university campus can be perceived from many parts of the city. The fact that it is in a location that affects the view and silhouette of the city and is located on the main access roads connecting to the city center makes the location of the design area even more effective.
The university area is defined between Beyşehir Ring Road, Trainyolu Street and Hocafakıh roads, which are the main arteries leading to the city center of Konya. The protection of qualified green areas and trees on the existing area were among the important criteria taken into account in the design. The green areas around the administrative building of Pankobirlik and especially in the south of the grass field have been preserved and the construction in these areas has been reduced, allowing the perception of green along the entrance and square direction.
The relations of the buildings with the immediate environment and the city are well thought out, and they are placed in the layout plan in a way that does not obstruct each other's view in order to benefit from natural ventilation and natural lighting. The university campus has been handled with an environmentally sensitive design by creating a low-rise and green silhouette.
The pursuits in the theory of outer space have been effective in shaping the site plan. More horizontal and environmentally friendly, in harmony with nature, bright and qualified spaces are envisaged. The green areas on the northern line of the university area continue towards the lodging areas in the west, forming a large-scale green corridor. The buildings in this area are small-scale and have been thought in the background in a way that draws the green into the campus. In the middle and south parts of the university land, it is aimed to remove the negative effects of the factory and warehouse areas of the on-campus recreation and walking alley by placing larger-scale buildings. In a sense, an outward facing construction on the northwest line of the university campus and an inward facing structure on the southwest line is aimed.
The separation on the land formed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Şeker Secondary School lands reveals that the eastern part is separated from the larger part. This area, which is also close to the visible face of the city, is reserved for techno-city and R&D functions that do not require intense connection with the university. Academic units surrounding the central areas in a linear continuity were preferred in the university campus planning. The density of green areas on the northern axis and the main entrance here necessitated the concentration of administrative and central areas a little further north. Reasons such as the university area's not being large in scale, the desire to separate the accommodation function from the education area, and the student's ability to communicate with the city more easily necessitated that the dormitory and hostel functions be solved at a point close to the entrance, not on the campus.
It was not found appropriate to analyze the lodging areas within the campus. In line with the general campus planning principles, a central-linear plan scheme was preferred. Administrative and central areas are planned at the northern entrance of the campus. In the center, common areas, cafeterias and bazaars are located in a linear setting and surrounded by academic units. This linear recreational axis extends to the south entrance with the indoor sports hall. On the other hand, a shelter function has been placed outside the campus, close to the sports areas. A stable and highly perceptible pedestrian movement setup, which continues with a linear continuity, has been developed. In this setup, it is aimed to increase the dynamism of the movement between them by creating two points of attraction. The first of these attraction points is the sports units added to the entrance section, and the second attraction is envisaged as parks. In this way, the inner green courtyards and streets surrounded by the buildings are protected from vehicle traffic and are completely separated into pedestrian areas. In the university campus, priority was given to pedestrian-oriented transportation. Bicycles and electric vehicles are intended to support on-campus transportation. At the same time, the existing pedestrian roads for emergencies, ambulance, fire brigade, etc. It is designed so that vehicles can pass. The need for a large parking lot of the Congress and Cultural Center structure has been planned in an area close to the entrance so as not to disturb the pedestrian continuity from the campus entrance. Thus, in congresses and meetings with large participation, the vehicles were connected to the Congress and Culture Center without entering the campus.
The green terraces on the floors increase the unity of the student with nature by drawing the green into the interior of the building. The understanding of form of the buildings is based on a design in which continuity and unity dominate, but each building can express itself strongly.
