M-building’s Nurkka, a calm space for students, ready for use
We recently reported on an experimental change to the teaching facilities at the Helsinki Music Centre. Due to the changes, M-building’s space S4108 will serve as both a teaching facility and a peaceful space for students during the academic year 2025–2026.
During the experiment, “Nurkka” (“Corner”) will be entirely available to students from Monday to Friday from 1 p.m. on and on weekends. Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., the space is reserved for teaching and independent artistic work.
Nurkka’s furniture supports different needs
The Nurkka space has been completed this week. The furniture, which combines new and old, supports students’ lounging and well-being. The furniture includes a sofa group and a lounge chair corner, which can be used, for example, in case of a headache.
For lecture teaching, the space still has the familiar AV equipment and a piano. The electric desk added to the space supports the work ergonomics of both the teacher and the student. The new workstation has already been in frequent use by the students.
Send feedback on the Nurkka experiment
Nurkka space has been implemented based on the needs presented by the students in the facilities survey. The decision on the experiment was made by the Töölö campus development group.
As this is an experiment, we are happy to hear feedback and development ideas related to the space. Please send your feedback to Jessica Aaltonen, the secretary of the campus development group, jessica.aaltonen@uniarts.fi.
