After the university moved to its new home at Rumelifeneri, the Istinye campus was remodelled to serve as a high-end conference and training center.

Koç University's central campus at Rumelifeneri is located north of Istanbul, overlooking the Bosphorus and the Black Sea.

[20] The Koç University Suna Kıraç Library has five branches and holds some 322,000 print volumes plus nearly 160,000 ebooks and 64,000 online serial titles.

The library also holds about 2,000 rare materials in the areas of Ottoman and European history, literature and religion.

Koç University's Rumelifeneri campus was designed by prominent Boston based American-Iranian architect Mozhan Khadem.

Khadem is the chief design architect of all Koç University buildings as well as the master planner of its campus.

[21] According to Khadem, the architecture of the campus was inspired by light and the significance of the university's geographical location on the border between Europe and Asia.

[23] Situated among hills overlooking the Black Sea, the stepped architecture allows the campus to integrate within the steep contours of the surrounding terrain.

In addition, Koç University is the best performing institution, including industry organizations, in Turkey after TÜBİTAK in the European Commission's Horizon 2020 funding scheme.
