Self Service Studio

This space is designed for Aalto users, small user groups, panel discussions, interviews, lectures or thesis presentations. It contains everything you need to record high quality video and audio: camera, microphone, dual monitors, studio lighting, curtains, a teleprompter, presentation desk and some seats for interviews.

The Self Service Studio is currently closed for renovation and will re-open in the new Marsio building in late 2024.
