Aalto DFSTUDIO / B209
DESCRIPTION
Located on the second floor of the Viima building, this versatile area is equipped with foldable Modeo tables and approximately 50 stackable chairs. A collection of photographic cardboard backgrounds can be found in one corner (not shown in the current photos), while another wall is adorned with several whiteboards. The room features ample electrical outlets, with retractable cables descending from the ceiling.
Although the space lacks microphones, they are unnecessary. For presentations there is a large display equipped with both a webcam and a speaker.
The ceiling lights’ brightness can be adjusted, and the windows are fitted with blinds for controlling sunlight.

FAQ
Is there other furniture in the space other than listed?
Oh yes, we’ve got some high tables. Fair warning though, they sometimes wander off to other spaces depending on where they’re needed most.
Can we order catering?
Absolutely! We’re big fans of MAU-KAS. They’re familiar with our spaces, whip up delicious food, and deliver top-notch service. Click here to check out their offerings. And guess what? There’s a catering room right next to The Stage (B110) on floor 1 to make managing your munchies a breeze.
I am not Aalto Staff. I don’t have access to the building for my event. What to do?
No panic! We can hand you the keys to the kingdom. Just swing by the Viima building during working hours on weekdays to pick them up. Remember to mention this little key exchange when you book the space.
I have guests coming in when the Viima building is closed. Can I leave the front door open?
Let’s keep it closed, shall we? Instead, why not appoint a friendly face to greet and let in your guests? You could also leave a contact number on the door—just anything but propping it open. We have a vigilant security guard who isn’t shy about shutting things down if needed. Let’s keep the party polite!
Can we serve alcohol?
Sure thing, but let us know when you fill out the booking form. Just a heads up: tipsy antics in university buildings are a no-go.
Can we stream our event?
The streaming functionality of this space is limited to what your laptop and the room’s webcam can offer.
What is the internet situation?
We’re wired and wireless! You can connect to Aalto Open, Eduroam, or Aalto networks. If you need a rock-solid connection, ask about our wired options. Speed demons, rejoice: one socket offers blazing-fast 1000/1000Gb speeds. The socket is located on the electrical pole next to the photo backdrops. The socket is marked with the label VISITOR.
