Different locations - one KY

Since the spring 2019, the business students at Aalto University have been at two campuses: Otaniemi and Mikkeli. However, KY has facilities also in Töölö.

Otaniemi

At the Otaniemi campus, Bachelor’s students at the School of Business carry out their studies at the Undergraduate Centre on Otakaari 1, along with students of many other Aalto disciplines. Master’s students’ home is the new School of Business at Ekonominaukio 1.

If you want to meet other Aalto business students during the day, go check out KY Corner, a break room located in the U-wing of the Undergraduate Centre. KY’s Office, Espilä, and event space Saha are both just a few minutes away from the Undergraduate Centre and right next to the new School of Business.

Espilä

Espilä is located at Konemiehentie 4, right opposite of KY’s event space Saha. Espilä is where the KY Board, employees and staff of KY Foundation work at.

Espilä has conference rooms available for reservation and common working space open to all KY members to use. Don’t hesitate to drop in for a cup of coffee (it’s free for all KY members!) and say hi to KY Board and employees!

When in need of KY-related assistance, turn to the KY member service. They will assist you in, for example, buying KY products, getting a KY sticker on your student card or going through the lost & found after a slightly longer and blurrier night. Member service can be reached during service hours by calling 040 353 8283, or by emailing at palvelu@ky.fi. You can, of course, always come by and get the help you need in person.

KY service hours at Espilä:

Tuesday 15:00-17:00 Thursday 10:00-12:00

Saha

Saha is the event space and home to parties and KY activities in Otaniemi. Saha is located at Konemiehentie 1, right across the street from Espilä. The space is reserved entirely for KY’s use, and it is available for KY’s volunteers’ reservations.

KY Corner

KY Corner is a break room for all business students, conveniently located on the first floor of the U-wing in the Undergraduate Centre. KY Corner is a natural place to meet and hang out with other business students during your school day or after the lectures. KY Corner is also known for Sports and Wellbeing Committee’s casual events such as the popular Cake Buffet organized twice a year and weekly Coffee Wednesdays when there is free coffee available.

Even though all Aalto BIZ students are settled in Otaniemi, the traditional KY Building in Töölö, continues to serve as a venue for many KY events and activities – and thus its traditions will be kept alive.

KY Building

Welcome to KY’s heart in Töölö, KY Building!

KY Building is located on Pohjoinen Rautatiekatu, standing just beside the Kamppi Shopping Center. There are two party venues in the building: Yläkertsi on the 3rd floor and Alakertsi in the basement. The basement is also home to many of KY’s associations.

Mikkeli

The Aalto University School of Business, Mikkeli Campus is located in the city center of Mikkeli, in the Southern Savo region of Finland, and it offers the Bachelor’s degree programme in International Business (BScBA). Probba ry, the student organization of Aalto University School of Business, Mikkeli Campus, has their own premises at the campus. The office of Probba ry is located on the 3rd floor of the campus building (Lönnrotinkatu 5) and the Probba Lounge can be found in the basement of the building.

Build like an entrepreneur

Anyone can be a builder. We’re here to help you find your tools.

All university students need entrepreneurial skills. That doesn’t mean we want every student to become an entrepreneur, because we don’t. The skills and mindsets of successful entrepreneurs, however, are beneficial to everyone.

In a rapidly changing world, it’s impossible to predict the future precisely. What we can do is try and build a future in which we’d like to live. We can learn to understand users’ needs, to be adaptive and creative, to solve problems instead of finding scapegoats and to communicate our vision to others. That’s what entrepreneurs have always done, and it’s time everyone else started doing it too.

At AVP, students solve real problems related to Sustainable Development Goals in multidisciplinary teams. After your time with us, you’re free to set up your own company, or take your skills and ideas into an existing one and help them see things more clearly. Either way is equally valuable in building a better future.

Aalto Ventures Program is the entrepreneurship education program at Aalto University.

As an Aalto BIZ student, you don’t have to wait for graduation to get in touch with working life. KY cooperates actively with several companies and future employers. We arrange, for example, excursions and career evenings which are all informed on KY Career – a Facebook group for work and career related events and announcements.
