Metsätalo, Unioninkatu 40

Picture of Metsätalo entrance

Metsätalo was completed in 1939 for the University of Helsinki’s forestry departments and the Finnish Forest Research Institute (Metla). Designed by architect Jussi Paatela, the building merges classicism and functionalism. The decor features different types of wood, including unusual tree species. The University’s forestry departments relocated to Viikki in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and Metla vacated its wing in 2008. The facilities are now used by the language disciplines of the Faculty of Arts.
