Akbank Academy Recreation Center (AARC) is located on the Akbank \u015eekerp\u0131nar Campus, on the eastern periphery of Istanbul. In designing the Recreation Center, the challenge was to bring interaction and momentum to the existing bank headquarters by including a mixed activity program, integrated with the Akbank Academy block and Data Center. The activity program seeks to make office work more attractive on a campus of 2,800 people and improve the quality of life of the employees. It hosts a mix of activities such as sports, culture, recreational facilities and a mini market, which are otherwise difficult to accommodate in the immediate environment.<\/p>\n
AKBANK Academy Social Center responds to the social, sporting and educational needs of the employees not only by adding green areas to the campus, but also becoming an integral part of them.<\/p>\n
The new building complex does not try to be a conventional block addition to the campus. Instead, it hides its activities in the landscape while expanding the usability of green spaces. Most of the activities are concealed underground.<\/p>\n
The park, with an open green area of over 17,000 m2, includes outdoor sports venues, hobby gardens and an outdoor amphitheater. The indoor areas include a conference center, lecture halls, bazaar, fitness center, cafeteria, social recreation areas and an underground garage for 350 cars. The fitness center, conference and exhibition halls, common meeting areas, mini bazaar and cafeteria are hidden under a green plateau, which is raised slightly above ground. Despite the dense building concept, every space enjoys natural daylight.<\/p>\n
