The is the first of what will be seven classroom and office buildings. If you click on this photo you will see a second building behind it. It is nearing completion and should be open after the first of the year. The "content" faculty will move there, and our building will be for English language instruction and probably some administrative offices. My office is on the third floor, out of four. The window is the one on the far left. You can also see an indoor practice facility under construction. The outdoor soccer field and basketball court are already finished. In fact, there have already been games between the English teachers, the IT guys and the "content" faculty.
This picture was taken looking a bit southeast of the campus -- if you kept going you'd end up in Syria. If you click on the photo you'll notice a road winding its way to a little village. Also you can see plowed fields and a bit of green. Since we've had some rain, the green is really noticeable.
This picture is a bit probably more south than east. Notice the pistachio grove in the back.
This a a photo looking north, back into Gaziantep. The 16 (or so) story apartment buildings appear to be marching south. They were actually built by the government to address the "ghetto" problem. In fact, such high rise apartment buildings are not the norm in Gaziantep. Most are five or six stories, like the one I live in. Sadly, I'm sure Zirve will someday be within the city limits.
Another photo looking back into town. The large structure in the middle is a specialty hospital. There's a very fancy townhouse development right next to it.
