The Morphology Building is used by undergraduate students of Faculty of Medicine, since their lecture hours are more than laboratory/hospital trainings. This Turkish education development also houses the offices of the academic staff working at the University Hospital which will be replaced at a nearby location.

The proximity of the faculty and the hospital is crucial since there will be a continuous circulation between the buildings both by students and academic staff.

The building is composed of three blocks: these are compartmentalized as offices, laboratories, classrooms and lecture rooms. Taking the blocks in turn, the block A with the main entrance consists lecture rooms, classrooms, a cafeteria and a library to be mainly used by students.

The block B, which consists laboratories, seminar and meeting rooms, acts as a bridging unit since it’s used by both academic staff and students. Block C at the rear end of the development is set apart for offices of academic staff.

The courtyards at lower-levels maximize natural lighting and ventilation for interior spaces, while their footprints complete the volumetric expression of the building which has 12.000 m2 closed construction area. The building construction has finished in June 2012 and currently in use.
