PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BOOKING
When is Design Factory open?
Design Factory’s doors are open from 7.45–15.30 from Monday until Friday. We have a receptionist in the lobby during opening hours. During weekends, the doors are not open – you need a key card to access the facilities.
Do I need keys to access the facilities?
You will need keys to access the facilities if your event will take place at the weekend or in the evening, as the doors are not open.
Where can I get a key for my weekend/evening events?
Contact the staff to pick up the key during our reception hours, 7.45 – 15.30. (Mon-Fri) Remember to return the key to the mailbox in the lobby, preferably right after the event.
How does the tech work and can someone help with that?
Our staff members in the lobby can show you how the technology works. It’s made very easy to use.
When can I come to ADF to see the spaces?
If you want to see the spaces and check out how everything works, it’s recommended to also do a booking for that – this way we can make sure the spaces are free during your visit.
Good to remember:
- Include the time you need for preparations in the space reservation.
- Please cancel your booking right away if your event is cancelled
- We do not have a cleaning service – it is your duty to put the furniture back to their positions and take the garbage out of the spaces after the event
- If you borrowed a key, remember to return it as soon as possible – preferably right after the event
- The events at Aalto Design Factory can only last until 24.00 – the event should end, and the spaces be cleaned before that
- If you need any additional information or help, you can contact spaces-df@aalto.fi

The Stage
The Stage is our biggest space. It’s most common uses are lectures, events, and big workshops. The space is very flexible with its rolling tables and stackable chairs. Users can set up the space in a way that best fits their event.
Basic use of the technology available in the space is relatively straightforward (we use iPads for controlling lights and sound), but we would recommend having an extra 20min. or so for setup.
If you need anything out of the ordinary or would like to use any of the “on request” features please contact our staff in good time (weeks/months) before your event.
