Future campus

Together with the City of Espoo, an environment that supports interaction is being built in Otaniemi for research, innovations, learning and the arts. The goal of campus development is to mix valuable history and new ways of planning.

“Ave Alma Mater, morituri te salutant”

In 1949, Aino and Alvar Aalto's architecture firm's proposal won the Otaniemi area plan design competition. Since then, the campus has become the first hub of world class research, a pioneer of modern architecture, the stage for the CSCE and the home of Finland’s first satellite.

The key environmental impacts of the campus are related to energy consumption and transport. We have decreased our annual carbon dioxide emission of real estates' energy use by 84% since 2012. The aim is to achieve carbon neutrality in terms of energy by 2030.

One percent for art

Aalto University applies the one per cent art principle in its building projects, where approximately one per cent of a building project's allocation is allocated to art purchases.
