EBRD finances earthquake-resilient student dormitory at Özyeğin University in Istanbul

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is financing new student accommodation at Özyeğin University in Istanbul, with a specific focus on earthquake-resilient design. This financing aligns with the EBRD's mission to support sustainable private sector development and improve lives, directly enhancing critical educational infrastructure in Turkey. Categorizing the project under 'hospitality' rather than traditional education or real estate suggests a premium on student living standards. The deal was announced on March 6, 2026, though the financial value remains undisclosed.
