Tietomaa is a science centre in Oulu, Finland. It is located in Myllytulli district near the city centre. It is the first science centre in Finland and it was opened to the public on 29 June 1988. Tietomaa is located in old buildings of the Veljekset Åström Oy, a former leather processing factory.
The building is set to have an extension and to be allocated as a museum of science.
The main concept was to mimic a small Nordic village, with wooden boxes that have slanting roofs cladded with copper.
One of the main challenges that was faced during the work was the circulation and flow of movement for both visitors and employees, without having it interrupted while keeping the connection between the original and the new extension.
