Premises

KY offers its associations services at two different locations, in Töölö and Otaniemi. Keys for all the premises can be picked up from service secretaries during KY’s service hours and must be returned to a key deposit box at either location immediately after the event.

KY’s associations and volunteer groups can reserve premises using the electronic resource calendar. Reservations can be made for the purpose of running your association and are not meant for personal use.

KY’s facilities in Otaniemi and Töölö are not actively rented out to other parties.
