Metsätalo, University building near Varsapuistikko Park, Helsinki, Finland
The Metsätalo building spans 22,500 square meters with three six-story wings arranged around a central courtyard between Unioninkatu and Fabianinkatu streets.
Architect Jussi Paatela designed Metsätalo in 1939 for the University of Helsinki Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, incorporating both classical and functionalist elements.
Native Finnish wood species feature throughout the interior design, from stair railings to wall panels, reflecting the building's original purpose as a forestry education center.
The building contains multiple lecture halls with capacities ranging from 12 to 201 people, making it a primary center for language studies at the University of Helsinki.
The protected courtyard maintains its original trees from 1939, creating a natural forest environment within central Helsinki's educational district.
