The London based office AUDB has just completed a university classroom building in Izmir Turkey as a part of their ongoing commitment to research and development projects in the region. The academic sector in Turkey is a fast growing field focused on innovation and quality.  Over the last decade Turkey has put a large emphasis on higher education with university student growth of 121% between 2012 and 2014 in line with the BRIC countries. Reaching 5.5 million in 2014. This ongoing growth in higher education is also having a positive affect on the quality of education with a sustained increase in world ranking. The key to this growth has been the private Foundation Universities that have been established over the last 30 years.
