THE STAGE / B110

DESCRIPTION

This is our largest event space, ideal for teaching, social gatherings, and workshops. The area is highly adaptable, featuring over 120 stackable chairs, 15 foldable tables, and a movable stage platform measuring 2x8m. Recent updates include acoustic panels on the walls, enhancing the room’s acoustics and making it even better for social events.

AV equipment is standard Aalto issue, operated via intuitive touch panels. Lighting is flexible, controlled through both room lights and regular dimmers for the ceiling fixtures. For a bit of flair, our event lights can be adjusted via an iPad interface at the back of the room, allowing you to set the mood with various color themes at the touch of a button.

Additionally, curtains can be adjusted using a panel at the entrance doors to provide extra acoustic dampening and manage daylight exposure.

For more detailed technical information, please refer to the FAQ and SPECS sections of this page.

SELF-SERVICE! All our spaces are self-service, which means you are responsible for setting up, cleaning, and resetting the space as instructed. Detailed instructions will be sent via email once your reservation is confirmed. You can also find reset instructions in most of our spaces. Thank you for your cooperation!

FAQ

Is there other furniture in the space other than listed?
Oh yes, we’ve got some high tables and a few cozy armchairs scattered around. Fair warning though, they sometimes wander off to other spaces depending on where they’re needed most. Plus, our stage area boasts a sleek transparent laptop stand complete with an HDMI extension cable for a no-mess tech setup.

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 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?
Stream away! We’ll provide the instructions, but you’ll want to designate a tech-savvy teammate to handle the setup. The space is equipped with a camera to capture all the action and mics to catch every word. You’ll choose whether to broadcast the live feed, projector visuals, or what the camera sees. Just bring a laptop loaded with your favorite streaming software. Both Windows and Mac users can breathe easy—our gear plays nice with both.

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: select internet sockets offer blazing-fast 1000/1000Gb speeds. Locations in the table are as if you are looking towards the stage platform from the back of the room.
