SUBÜ’s Vision for the New Era: A Green and Smart Campus
Sakarya University of Applied Sciences (SUBÜ) Rector Prof. Dr. Zafer Tatlı has outlined the vision and goals for the university’s new term. While identifying the new campus project to be built between Arifiye and Sapanca as one of his top priorities, Tatlı said the university would also consider introducing a +2 applied education option alongside its successful +1 model.
Emphasizing that the university’s main goal in the new term is to transform SUBÜ into a vibrant, smart, digital, and green campus, Prof. Dr. Tatlı provided the following details about the campus location:
“Our new campus will be built in the area allocated to our university between the districts of Arifiye and Sapanca. We aim to create a campus environment that supports our students’ academic, social, and cultural lives. We aspire to establish a campus in line with the ‘green campus’ concept, featuring research infrastructure, smart classrooms, digital library facilities, spaces for student clubs, areas such as a museum to strengthen a sense of belonging, as well as social and sports facilities.”
Transformation and Measurable Success
Stating that they aim to further strengthen university-industry cooperation, Rector Tatlı said they would accelerate joint R&D projects in partnership with Sakarya’s strong industrial sector.
Addressing the university’s digitalization vision, Tatlı noted that artificial intelligence would be positioned as “a powerful supporting element, rather than a determining factor” in decision-making and education processes.
Stressing that success would be monitored through concrete data rather than abstract statements, Tatlı emphasized that key indicators such as graduate employment rates, program accreditations, high-quality publications, patents, international mobility, and student and staff satisfaction would be closely monitored.
