In the early years of the Republic, the changes(transformation) in Turkey also affected the education system, and a "national" educational mobilization was initiated. With the influence of the economic conditions of the period, the construction of important and compulsory public buildings such as "health and education buildings" was prioritized. This study aims to examine the relationship between the campuses where the service buildings of Gazi University Rectorate, Ankara Medipol University Rectorate and Ankara Social Sciences University Rectorate are located and the architectural composition of the rectorate buildings as an example of national architecture. It was observed that the Rectorate buildings of Ankara Medipol University and Ankara Social Sciences University had different functions before and were re-functionalized and used as rectorate service buildings today. It is possible to say that the examined examples are designed in a similar architectural style, registered as cultural assets requiring protection, located in the city center, and that holistic design is important in the green area/development ratios of the campuses and the relations they establish with their surroundings. In this context, it is thought that this study is important in terms of emphasizing the place of rectorate buildings in the social framework and their importance in the history of Turkish education and will contribute to the research and literature on this subject
