Providing Free Drinking Water

Boğaziçi University has installed drinking water fountains connected to a central treatment system throughout the campus to provide free drinking water to students, staff and visitors. Located on the South and North Campuses, these hygienic fountains provide clean and potable water. The fountains are strategically located to ensure easy access to water for campus residents.

Particularly on the South Campus, fountains are located in heavily used areas such as the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Albert Long Hall and the Student Activities Building. Fountains are also located in indoor areas such as the Abdullah Kuran Library and New Hall. Some of the fountains are equipped with special drains designed to provide water for cats and dogs living on campus.

This initiative is an important step towards the university's goals of reducing the use of plastic bottles and creating an environmentally friendly campus. Boğaziçi University continues to contribute to sustainability efforts with simple yet effective steps such as these.
