About the building
Aalto University's new Marsio building is a significant addition to the Otaniemi campus, bringing modern architecture and new opportunities for the Aalto community. The building serves the Aalto community in various ways, offering modern spaces for students, researchers, and staff. It enables the creation of new forms of collaboration and innovation.
The building is named after Aino Marsio-Aalto, who was a creative pioneer, architect, designer, and Aalto University alumna. Marsio was designed by SARC Architects, with Max Hartman as the principal designer. The building interprets the traditional brick facade in a modern way and utilizes metal surfaces as complementary materials.
