METU Research and Implementation Center for Built Environment and Design

The METU Research and Implementation Center for Built Environment and Design (RICBED) was set up as part of Middle East Technical University with the aim of creating an institutionalized framework for sharing the university’s knowledge and culture with other research and implementation stakeholders and for using the input from such sharing as feedback for further education and research efforts. Built in 2004 with the support of Çolakoğlu® Metalurji, the center’s headquarters embody an aesthetic approach and functionality befitting a school of architecture.
