鈥楾he Learning Centre鈥檚 renovation was launched as a service design project in which we charted the wishes, opinions and daily routines of our clients, the students especially. This formed the basis on which we then started to consider what the Learning Centre could provide them. The students have received the facilities very well after the completion of the renovation, and the project was even awarded the Finlandia Prize for Architecture.
Regardless of the project鈥檚 already awarded architecture, my New Year鈥檚 resolution is that the Learning Centre will never be so finished that we鈥檒l stop listening to our clients鈥� wishes about how the building could be developed further. We have, in fact, already adapted the facilities in response to the feedback we鈥檝e received.鈥�
