The opening of the new and spectacularly designed Central Library Oodi created worldwide headlines. Our Finnish partner FINNDATA helped to secure the grand opening date by using a sophisticated planning and installation schedule for the Raised Access and Hollow floor areas.

In total we supplied an area of 8,400 m² of floor systems. The basic idea of the Architect was to focus on the interaction between the building’s three individual floors.

The public plaza in front of the building continues inside the building, merging with a catalogue of meeting and experience features. The ground floor is a robust, busy and frequently updated area suitable for quick visits as well as round tours. The active zero- threshold public spaces are clearly recognizably, attractive, understandable and welcoming to all visitors. The traditional, serene library atmosphere can be found on the top floor, forming a calm and contemporary area overlooking above the busy central Helsinki.
