Vaasa University Luotsi-library


The renovation of the Vaasa Sea Campus was designed by architect Kimmo Lintula from K2S Architects. Other renowned sites in Lintula include the Helsinki Olympic Stadium and Ylivieska Church, where Lumir’s acoustic solutions have also been used.

“The geometry of the origami roof creates space and, as an architectural element, makes the building public. In addition to that, it has several functional features; It scatters daylight, dampens sound and hides technical building systems, making the space a place for discovering knowledge that is experienced as whole, emphasizing sustainable everyday life. We are very satisfied with the end result and the excellent finish” – Kimmo Lintula / Arkkitehtitoimisto K2S Oy.

“The campus will be a world-class example of the reuse of buildings as a learning environment and the heart of the university,” architect Lintula has stated on the YLE News website*.

The client of the Merikampus alliance of the University of Vaasa is Vaasan Merikampus Oy, a real estate company of the University of Vaasa. Other parties to the alliance are Arkkitehtitoimisto K2S Oy, Ramboll Finland Oy, responsible for structural design, Granlund Pohjanmaa Oy, responsible for building services design, and construction company Peab Oy as the implementer. The previous Lumir project carried out with Peab’s Vaasa unit was the Vaasa administration building.

The cornerstones of campus planning are responsibility, adaptability, supporting community spirit and efficient use of space. Carbon-negative Lumir Comfort as a durable acoustic interior building material fits perfectly into these design principles.

The opening ceremony of the Luotsi building was held in Vaasa on 31.8.2022.
