In this context, architects; realizes architectural designs with a user focus. In the case of the user, accessibility and spatial accessibility following it come to the fore. Cities have some essential functions such as shelter, work, rest, and transportation. The same parts are available on the campuses, with the system within itself. Campuses show mixed-use features that students can meet all their needs within short distances. Urban designs should be made for information societies when designing campuses, just like urban planners' approach to cities, and physical accessibility should be prioritized.
