Abstract
With the rise of urbanization, cities around the world have embraced applications and benefits of leveraging advanced technologies to deliver a range of services while promoting efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable eco-systems. By harnessing technology to improve the quality of life of citizens, these advanced technological tools have become critical in transforming urbanized cities across the globe into smart cities. Universities in particular have served as an ideal platform to showcase smart applications to promote smart campuses. This paper presents METU Smart Campus Project which addresses necessary analysis and recommendations for the implementation of a smart and sustainable campus at METU. Scope of the project includes development of a 10 year smart campus roadmap and a plan for implementation of near-term smart and sustainable campus activities. The project will assist METU in planning and implementing the smart intelligence, Energy, Aquatic (Water), Security, and Transportation Campus (iEAST).

Bibliographical note
Funding Information:There is a 50 kW PV panel implementation on the roof of Ayaslı Research Center at the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) Department (Fig. 6). An R&D project, which is supported by EMRA of Turkey (EPDK), is ongoing in collaboration with Başkent DisCo and METU. It proposes to deploy a micro-grid at the Ayaslı Research Center. In addition, 50 kW PV panels will be installed on the A-Building roof in the EEE department under the support of GAMA Energy Co. in Turkey. These projects will enable a significant infrastructure for micro-grid implementations in METU.
