The eastern entrance at the Aalto University Metro Station (the entrance on the same side as the university, light rail stops and the shopping center) will be closed from Monday 15 July to Sunday 25 August. The entrance will be closed due to maintenance work on the fire alarm system and lighting. Similar work was performed at the Tietotie entrance, which was closed in early June. The work carried out at the entrance on the university side will close the entrance for several weeks. The work cannot be performed in stages, and scaffolding will block entrance to the escalators and lifts.
Regular maintenance and upkeep are crucial to ensure that the station remains in working order. The Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd is responsible for the work. The maintenance work will not affect Metro services.
During the work, you can access the Metro via the Tietotie entrance. The Tietotie entrance will be back in use on Monday 8 July.

Route to the Metro from the Aalto University Metro Station main entrance and light rail stops from 15 July
The shortest route from the main entrance on Otaniementie (entrance A) to the Tietotie entrance (entrance B) is via the A Bloc shopping center and Biologinkuja to Tietotie. When A Bloc is closed, the easiest way to get to the Metro is to go around the building for the School of Business and the School of Arts, Design and Architecture.
Alternatively, you can also take the Light Rail from Otaniementie to the Keilaniemi Metro Station (bay 11) or trunk bus 510 to the Tapiola Metro Station (bay 13).
