Aalto Space has been helping campus users in their everyday life for ten years already. The application, which was created through co-creation in 2016, originated from campus users’ need to find and book suitable working and study spaces. Since then, Aalto Space has expanded to other campus services as well: for example, the application can be used to navigate to the nearest campus restaurant or to find other campus services.

Over ten years, the application has established a regular user base. Aalto Space has more than 9,000 users every month. Today, in addition to the university’s students and staff, Aalto Space also serves tenants operating in Aalto University’s premises.

"We are continuously developing the application with both minor improvements and new features. For example, in 2025 we released a new campus map, which makes it possible to navigate accessible routes on campus," says Satu Kankaala from ACRE.

Work has also been done to improve the reliability of the application. "Feedback from users on the functionality of the application and areas for development plays an important role in the development work. We also closely monitor statistics on the reliability of the application," says Jukka Katainen from Aalto University IT Services.
