Access to campus resources remains limited during the autumn term. Only ongoing coursework and official research projects are supported. Aalto Studios facilities can be booked to facilitate distance learning, such as recording and streaming course content.
The main doors to our facilities are open as usual, but please only visit the buildings if you’re currently enrolled on a course or have booked a space for individual work.
The inner doors of our buildings remain closed so please pay attention to arrive on time for your classes. The lobby services can help you gain access through the locked inner doors of buildings. Please be prepared to present your booking details for the lobby services and Aalto Studios staff.
