Marsio, the campus meeting point open to all, will open its doors in September 2024. Marsio's facilities are equipped with new technologies that enable cross-disciplinary research and teaching, and take Aalto University's events to a new level, both on campus and virtually. The building offers a view of the university's research, teaching and impact. The event spaces of Marsio are mostly located on the ground floor of the building.

Marsio event spaces

Stage

285 square metres of open, flat-floor event space with state-of-the-art event technology provides a high quality setting for event experiences for both live and remote audiences.

The technology of Marsio Stage includes a 4K wall of video monitors (6m x 4.5m), high-quality stage lighting in different lighting conditions, and distributed speakers for excellent sound level control throughout the space. Five high-quality robotic cameras provide a variety of angles for live streams.

Marsio Stage is primarily used for open public events as the entrances to the space cannot be individually closed. The space can be easily transformed into a black box with the use of black curtains, which can also be moved in front of the doors if required. The Stage, as the name suggests, is equipped with a large stage.

Event Studio

Marsio's large exhibition space (approximately 240 square metres) provides a new environment for Aalto University's exhibition activities. The space can also be rented for events together with the Event Stage or separately. Together, the Stage and Studio can accommodate events for over 400 people.

Cinema

The 150-seat Marsio Cinema (including 2 wheelchair spaces) offers the opportunity to organise high quality film screenings on campus. The cinema is mainly used for educational purposes, but can also host screenings and events on days off.

The restaurant does not have a license to serve alcohol in the cinema.

Digital Studio

This black box studio space is primarily used for teaching purposes. The space can be rented for events outside of teaching bookings.

Living room + Teaching studio (3rd floor)

The space will be opened for event use at the beginning of 2025.
