Reopened in autumn 2017 after two years of renovation. Surprisingly few changes are visible on top, e.g. the windows have been sanded and reprocessed - still look quite from the 60s - only double old glass. New radiators and geothermal energy have entered the house - this house requires a lot of energy to stay warm (approx. 50,000 m3). It is admirably bright inside even on the autumn day of the end of October and otherwise a very interesting building. From the harsh rubble but on the other hand the concrete is wonderfully bent. This was only built for a year and a half, would not work today ... the building was done by the Student Union of the Helsinki University of Technology.
