Auditorium Levón

The first phase of the auditoriums’ renovation is done

Campus Development Yleinen

The auditoriums Levón and Wolff were renovated last summer. The first of two phases of the renovation is ready and the premises were turned over for use on week 40.

The renovations of the auditoriums are a separate part from the rest of the campus since the renovations had to be done in the summertime. The halls were renovated with respect to the previous architect. The aesthetic changes were controlled but the usage is improved due to changes.

The renovations of Levón were divided into two summers since there was a lot to do and the premise needed to stay in use all semester. The first phase of the renovation is now completed. The floors and benches will be renovated next summer, after which Levón is ready. The renovations of Wolff were fully completed, only some changes to the presenting technology need to be made.
