Campus buildings are available to all students during their opening hours. The general rule is that you may study in a space whenever it is not reserved. This means you can, for example, study in a lecture hall without a prior reservation, as long as no classes are in session there or other students have not reserved the space.

There are special self-study spaces for students in nearly every building on campus. Some of the spaces must be reserved in advance using the Aalto Space app, while others are available without a reservation. The spaces are generally open according to the buildings’ opening hours, but some study spaces are open 24/7. You’ll need an access card to enter the 24/7 spaces.
