Summan paperitehdas, Industrial architecture in Vehkalahti, Finland.

The Summan paperitehdas complex encompasses three medium-sized paper machines within a large industrial facility situated near the Baltic Sea coast.

From its establishment in 1955 until 2008, this paper mill produced newsprint and specialty paper products, contributing to Finland's strong position in paper manufacturing.

The factory's older sections showcase the architectural design of Alvar Aalto, reflecting Finland's industrial design heritage of the 1950s.

Google transformed this former paper mill into a data center in 2011, investing 800 million euros and creating 350 jobs in the region.

The facility maintains its original industrial fire brigade structure, complete with specialized vehicles and equipment from its paper production era.
