Description
Summary:The campus is the living space used by students for four years or more for undergraduate education. In addition to educational buildings and administrative units, there are public spaces to meet social needs in the campus area. Having various places in campus life where students can socialize is very important for their versatile development. In this sense, student life centers, which include areas where students can both have fun and work in different disciplines, draw attention. There are student life centers with various functions in university campuses in our country. However, there is no standard in student centers, which raises the question of how much these centers meet the social needs or what functions they should have. In the study, within the scope of the transformation of the bowling alley in the Atatürk University campus into the Student Living Center, Dr. Lecturer Serkan Sipahi, Res. See. Alper Torun and Res. See. Semiha interior design by İsmailoğlu, application and implementation of projects made structure created and hosted by local functions, are examined with examples from Turkey and the world. With the examination, it was discussed which functions and the spaces belonging to these functions can take place in student living centers. Situation analysis was used in the study, which is a qualitative research. In the first step, student living center projects in Turkey and abroad were researched; Functions of six projects and spatial information about these functions have been reached. Then, information was given about the selected projects and the implementation project. In the third step, the functions and dimensions in the project made with a total of twelve examples are tabulated. While tabulating the places, they are discussed under three sub-titles: entertainment, education and service. As a result, the functional and dimensional nature of the implemented project was revealed. In this context, the study has been compared with the domestic and foreign examples of the student living center application at Atatürk University; As a result, a proposal was made for the required function program in student centers to meet social needs.
