Dipoli (the KOY Jämeränjälki property), Espoo

Designed by Reima and Raili Pietilä, Dipoli originally served as the student union building of Helsinki University of Technology. Later, the iconic building functioned as a conference centre, hosting major events such as the 1972 Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. After the renovation, Dipoli has become Aalto University’s main building and a meeting place for students and staff alike. The renovation of this monumental listed building, which is culturally and historically important because of its unique architecture, required seamless collaboration to ensure that modern building services could be integrated into the old structures
