Booking of facilities and price list

The student union rents out saunas, event and meeting venues, as well as recreational facilities in Espoo and Helsinki. Student union members and associations can rent facilities for one day at a time at a discounted price.

Booking instructions and the use of facilities

Booking

The facilities are booked in the TILA system with the booker’s personal Aalto user details.

The booking is only valid once it has been confirmed by AYY Member Services.  A booking made after confirmation will appear in blue in the calendar.

Reservations cannot be made for the same day, nor for the day after 12 noon. After 12 noon on a Friday, it is no longer possible to make reservations for Saturday and Sunday. This is because during office hours, Member Services must confirm the booking for the access code to work.

If you do not have Aalto ID to logg into Tila, you can book facilities by  using this form.

Van, Craft room and Studio bookings


The keys for the van, Craft room and Studio must be picked up from the AYY Service Office, Otakaari 25 during opening hours Mon, Wed & Fri 12 - 15. For weekend bookings, keys must be collected by 15.00 on Friday. Please check the opening hours here. No refunds will be given for unused reservations.

Please return the room key to the AYY Service Office or to the mail box on the white wooden door on the Otakaari side of the building by 12 noon on the day following your reservation.

Electronic locks

Access code for rental premises
Access to the premises is by access code. The code found on the premises is activated at the start of the booking. Please note that the access code will only be activated once the booking has been confirmed by Member Services.  

If the access code does not work:

  1. Check that the status of your booking is "confirmed". Only the access code of a confirmed booking will work. If the booking status is "unconfirmed", you are not entitled to use the status. 
  2. Wait a moment, then try the code again. 

  3. If the code still does not work, activate a new code in the TILA system by selecting "change code". Wait 15 minutes before trying the new code.

  4. If the new code does not work, contact AYY Member Services on 050 520 94 00 (Mon-Thu 12-16, Fri 12-15) and arrange to collect the key from the AYY Service Office, Otakaari 25.

  5. If it is an evening or a weekend, order a door unlocking service from Securitas 0600 13513. The call costs 8,21 snt/call + pvm/mpm. Please inform [email protected] that you have ordered a door unlocking service. Show the operator your confirmed booking in the Status or your booking confirmation in your email. Door opening costs around €100, so don't order a door opener for nothing. Unnecessary door openings will be charged to the booking.

Keys

In some facilities the key still needs to be picked up from AYY's office. Also if the person who has made the reservation doesn't have access to TILA-system, the key must be picked up from our office. Please note that if you need keys for your reservation (Craft room, Studio & the van), the keys must be picked up during office opening hours. For weekend reservations, the keys are collected on Friday. Please check the opening hours of AYY's office here.

If you forget to pick up the keys in advance, you need to phone the maintenance service. The maintenance company will charge you for the door-opening service in accordance with its own price list (approx. €100–150/ visit). Contact information for the maintenance companies can be found here.

Return the keys to AYY’s Services Office in Otaniemi or to the letter box located by the Otakaari entrance by 12 noon on the day following the booking.

Payments

Private bookers pay the room rent via Paytrail at the time of booking. If the private booking is not paid within 15 minutes, the booking will expire and will disappear from the space calendar.

Associations subject to AYY choose the invoice as the payment method. Invoices for renting the premises are sent out in batches approximately once a month.

External bookers will receive an email or online invoice for their booking before/after the event. The reservation is valid even if the invoice is not received before the date of the event.

Reservations must be made by a member of the Student Union at the time of the reservation and during the reservation to receive the facility at the member rate.

A summary of facility rental prices can be found below on this page.

Cancellations

Bookings for facilities subject to a charge must be cancelled 14 full days prior to the rental period at the latest; otherwise the booker has to pay the complete price for the rent. Free facilities must be cancelled at least 1 day prior and the van 2 days prior to the rental period. An unused and uncancelled reservation (also the van) will be billed according to the the full reservation price.

You should cancel the bookings in the TILA system. If you do not have the Aalto user details, you can also cancel the booking by emailing AYY ([email protected]) at least 14 days prior to the rental period.

Usage hours for facilities

Usually AYY’s facilities are rented for one evening at a time. The facilities can also be rented for the day, in which case the price is negotiated case by case with AYY.

It is possible to apply for a night usage permission for Servin mökki with a separate form. There is an additional fee for a night usage permission.

Rules and terms for facilities

The renters are responsible for the facilities they have rented as well as their movables while they are in possession of the keys. Rules and terms for the Student Union’s rental facilities and sanctions for violation of rules can be found via this link.

Revocation of the booking right

The AYY Board decided at its meeting 14/2015 that the right to book rental facilities is denied from all bookers who do not pay their bills after the first payment reminder. The booking right is re-enacted as soon as the payment has reached AYY’s bank account.

Accessibility

AYY has paid more attention to accessibility and reachability in rental facilities. Some of the facilities are accessible and we have improved advance guidance for non-accessible facilities. The website of all facilities now have information on accessibility and you can get the best overall picture on the accessibility site.
