Helsinki University of Technology Main Building

The main building features a fan-shaped auditorium design, red brick walls, granite details, and copper elements across its exterior structure.

Alvar Aalto designed this educational facility in 1953, with construction completed in 1964 as part of the expanding Helsinki University of Technology campus.

The building incorporates classical elements such as amphitheaters and colonnades, reflecting the traditional principles of humanistic university education.

Following renovations from 2005 to 2015, the structure now serves as Aalto University's Undergraduate Centre with modern educational facilities.

Natural light floods the interior spaces through clerestory windows positioned above the amphitheater-style auditoriums that overlook the festival square.
