Shared campus
Local units of the Laurea and HAAGA-HELIA Universities of Applied Science operate on the Porvoo Campus. Together the units form a versatile learning community of about 1200 students. Activities at the campus are based on an open and innovative way of learning and studying. The students and staff have modern technology available to them.
In addition to the universities of applied sciences, the Porvoo Campus also houses the education department of the City of Porvoo, as well as an Amica restaurant, which offers lunch, student lunch, and cafe services.
Learning environment and library
The Porvoo Campus, which is located on the west bank of the Porvoo River, is the result of a unique planning process, which has involved the users of the school together with the school's designers, architect, and interior designers. This campus is designed to be a place where people meet and learn. This is evidenced by multifunctional, adaptable, open, and well-illuminated facilities, as well as the inspiring and well thought-out interior design.
Designed by Siren Architects, with the interior design by Sistem, the campus represents a new kind of thinking and use of space. Both the activities themselves and the use of the space are reflected in openness and encounters, something that is aimed at promoting the sharing of learning and skills.
Life on the Porvoo Campus is best described as learning and doing things together in projects stemming from the world of work. The Campus is also open daily to the general public, offering a pleasant restaurant, an extensive professional library, and many pleasant meeting places.
The operational concept of the Porvoo Campus includes close collaboration with the businesses. This collaboration is made concrete through, among other things, cooperation in named facilities with companies and organisations (Nimikkotilayhteistyö).
The Porvoo Campus library is shared between Laurea University of Applied Science and HAAGA-HELIA. The collection contains literature and publications in the fields of business, tourism and health. Also in use is an extensive and versatile electronic collection and wireless network to support studies. The library of the Porvoo Campus is a well-lit and peaceful space with computers. Students have teamwork spaces available to them in different floors on the campus, and on the second floor they have a separate work room for quiet work.
