About Yıldız Technical University
Yıldız University is named Yıldız Technical University with the law on 03 July 1992.

While the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Faculty of Architecture maintain their positions, the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences is added to the institution as a brand new faculty.
Thus, Yıldız Technical University had a new structure consisting of 7 faculties, 2 institutes, Vocational School and departments affiliated to the Rectorate.

About YTU Davutpaşa Campus
It was established in 1999 by incorporating the Davutpaşa Barracks into the body of Yıldız Technical University. The main building, which was used as a barracks before, is in the shape of the letter U. After it was given to the university, laboratory sections were added to this building, and the middle of the U was arranged to be used as a garden. Two buildings, one of which is the student cafeteria and canteen at the end of the laboratory, and the other one in front of it, the staff and lecturer cafeteria and the kitchen, were built. The building, which was used as a bath a little further on and is not used at the moment, is also striking. Behind the staff cafeteria, there is the new canteen and dining hall building, which was put into service in 2007, right next to it, an indoor swimming pool, fitness hall, indoor basketball court, tennis courts and an artificial turf.
The improvements planned in Davutpaşa campus are student dormitory for 3000 people, guesthouse, kindergarten and lodgings, which were planned as 1000 people in the first place. The carpentry and ironworks on Yıldız campus will be moved at a later date. In addition, the Faculty of Civil Engineering moved to Davutpaşa campus with the 2008-2009 academic year. Many constructions, including the Faculty of Electrical-Electronics and the Technopark, have come to an end.

In case of cancellation of the training, as it would be dangerous to slip on wet ground, information is given during the day. Yıldız Teker organizes various events called “SuitSkate” in order to show that people in business life can also do sports such as skating and skateboarding.
