Shortcuts to campus
Otaniemi, a crown jewel of Finnish architecture
A parkland-style campus established in the 1950s forms the core of Otaniemi. The overall vision of the campus was that of Alvar Aalto, and its individual buildings were designed by Aalto and other celebrated Finnish architects such as Reima and Raili Pietilä and Heikki and Kaija Sirén.
Aalto University's locations
Aalto University has premises in two locations in the Greater Helsinki region: at Otaniemi campus and in Töölö. Aalto operates one of its study options, the Bachelors' Programme in International Business BScBA, in the town of Mikkeli, around 200 kilometres from Helsinki.
This is how Otaniemi grew into a centre of technology, business and art
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 - Otaniemi’s Aalto campus has a colourful history. Next the campus will become Aalto University’s joint campus and an open community for all.
A campus geared for sustainable development
The key environmental impacts of campuses are related to energy consumption, transport and recycling. A campus operating in line with the principles of sustainable development is a key part of the University's campus strategy.
