TOAS Hippos, Tampere, Finland

The Tampere Student Housing Foundation TOAS is building the Hippos block, which will become Tampere's first building construction project implemented with an alliance model. The former state office building will be replaced by a cozy campus, which will include living quarters, business, office, service and common areas, as well as kindergarten.  The project planning took into account the carbon footprint during the life cycle: about 70% of the student village buildings will be wooden.
