Campus Buildings in Sustainable Standards: ÖzU has always strived to be a green university since the day it was founded. Sustainability is one of the core elements included in the University’s first founding strategy. As a testament to ÖzU’s commitment to being a green sustainable university, three of ÖzU’s campus buildings received the LEED Gold Certificate based on the measurements of the US Green Buildings Council.  The third campus building, AB3, or the ScOLa, is renowned as one of Turkey’s most energy-efficient academic buildings. Today, the total energy consumption of the ScOLa building corresponds to only 20 percent of an average academic building in Turkey. The ScOLa building was constructed within the scope of the NEED4B “New Energy Efficiency Demonstration for Buildings”,  a collaborative project co-financed by the European Union under its 7th Framework Program for which the Center of Energy, Environment and Economy (CEEE) at Özyeğin University won a project award. With its budget of 1.3 Million Euros, the NEED4B project is also one of the biggest energy projects that has ever been awarded to a Turkish university.

ÖzU Environment Policy states that "The Özyeğin University campus houses green and sustainable buildings. The University also ensures that all its new buildings are environmentally friendly."

Sustainable Commuting: ÖzU promotes sustainable commuting by providing free shuttle services to all employees. Shuttle services are also provided to and from various parts of the city at reduced prices for students. A regular ring service to the metro station is also available. ÖzU also encourages students to carpool by providing a social platform for carpooling arrangements in My ÖzU, the intra-communication platform of the university.

ÖzU Affordable Housing for Employees: At Özyeğin University, limited on-campus free housing is available especially to staff relocating to Turkey. The Guest House building for short stays also has 18 fully furnished faculty apartments, 8 with one bedroom and 10 with two bedrooms.
