What are the best places at our campus for chance encounters and meetings? Which places do you show to visitors? Is there a spot you’re proud of that we could highlight more?

Aalto University’s campus in 2050 will be an open, inspiring and unique environment where all visitors can easily access learning, research and our multidisciplinary community.

Tell us what you consider most important on the campus. You can pin highlights and key places for research directly on the open map.
