Last week, we visited the construction site in Aalto University Campus for the new campus access.

The buildings and landscape of Aalto University Campus are influential masterpieces in Finnish architectural history. On the campus, located in the former Otaniemi manor house park, you can find the iconic redbrick buildings designed and built during the 50s by Alvar Aalto. Also, the tree alleys remain as reminiscents of that period.

During the past ten years, the university has undergone extensive development and expansion, including new educations, a new building, a new metro connection, and a light rail connection.

As a result, the pedestrian flow throughout campus has drastically changed.

Therefore, our tasks are to restore and develop the access area and increase biodiversity. Also, it has been a challenge to rethink the path system, improve universal accessibility, and add new programs while protecting the cultural heritage.
