Sauna available at Rantasauna from 16 Jan onwards
AYY announced on 16 Dec 2022 that saunas in rental facilities will be closed due to energy saving and cost reasons from 1 Jan to 31 Mar 2023, but AYY would explore the possibility of having one sauna available at the request of the Representative Council.
After consideration, AYY has decided to open Rantasauna from 16 Jan. Due to increased costs, AYY needs to increase the rental rate of the saunas.
- The rental rate of the large space for AYY members is until 15 Jan EUR 300. The new rate starting from 16 Jan is EUR 400.
- The rental rate of the small space for AYY members is until 15 Jan EUR 100, and the new rate starting from 16 Jan EUR 150.
- Unfortunately, the hot tub is out of order and unavailable for now. If you have already booked hot tub, you don’t need to cancel your booking or pay for it.
The higher rates at Rantasauna apply to all bookers. Reservations made during the previous rates can be cancelled free of charge 14 days before the date of the reservation in TILA-system, or 7 days before the date of the reservation by contacting AYY Member Services by email: [email protected].
Other sauna facilities are available, but without the sauna. Read more in the previous announcement.

This autumn, Aalto University Student Union will organise Tempaus after a break of several years. Kaikkien käsien jälki Tempaus (“A Collective Handprint”) takes place on the hundredth anniversary of the engineer with a sturdy beard, a mythical figure that supervises the actions of engineering students. In his article, Juuso Määttä delves into the history of Tempaus.
Government cuts put a stop to the construction of student housing
We are shocked by the recent cuts of the Finnish Government which put student housing and its construction at stake. In its session on spending limits, the Government made significant cuts to the special group investment grants for student housing construction, which makes the commencement of already planned housing projects in the capital region uncertain and complicates the housing situation for students as well as the housing activities of the Aalto University Student Union (AYY).
Changes to deposits in the autumn
There will be changes to the deposit policy. In the future, deposits will not be collected from all tenants, but only in certain situations.
