Linnankatu Arts Academy, Turku
The Linnankatu Art Campus, which is part of Turku University of Applied Sciences, is located along the Aura River and operates in a building complex that combines an old rope factory and former shipyard halls.

We have served as designers for several renovation and conversion projects for the art institution, preserving the original architecture of the protected factory buildings and the atmosphere of the shipyard hall. In 2020, part of the premises was converted for circus education, which required, among other things, the construction of a new emergency exit staircase integrated into the protected facade. In 2021, we carried out significant alterations in the Sigyn Hall, which is used for acoustic music performances and education. In 2022, the renovation and expansion work focused on sections G and H of the building, and in 2023, we renewed, among other things, the 270-meter-long ropeway. Publicly accessible spaces on the Art Campus include the Rope Theatre of the Art Academy and the Ropeway Gallery used by visual arts students.
