Erciyes University infrastructure expansion

Overview

Erciyes University is expanding its technical and scientific infrastructure through new specialized facilities.

In August 2026, the university announced the launch of a National Technology Workshop. Supported by approximately 30-35 million TL from TÜBİTAK, the facility aims to assist students in transitioning from computer-aided designs to physical prototypes and full production using equipment such as CNC systems, 3D printers, and laser cutting devices.

Concurrently, the university is preparing to open the Mehmet Çıkrıkçıoğlu Laboratory Building to support the Faculty of Agriculture. This 65 million TL project features 21 specialized laboratories dedicated to research areas including plant production, soil analysis, animal science, and food technology. The facility, supported by philanthropic contributions, is intended to enhance academic research and regional agricultural consultancy.
