AaltoAlvari, Indoor swimming pool in Seminaarinmäki, Finland.
AaltoAlvari is an indoor swimming facility completed in 1955 featuring curved lines and natural materials in its structure. The building contains multiple pools for different activities and sits integrated within the university campus.
Alvar Aalto designed the facility in response to the university's need for modern sports amenities. Its completion in 1955 marked a turning point for the campus physical development.
The building shows how Aalto's design brought swimming and learning together, shaping the experience of generations of students on campus. His approach treated sports and education as equally important parts of university life.
The complex offers regular operating hours and various pools for lap swimming and classes. Visitors should check whether specific pools may be reserved for training at certain times.
The building is protected by law, preserving Aalto's original design elements from the mid-20th century. This legal protection makes it a rare example of his work maintained in its original form.
