Changes to AYY’s pricelist and rental facility user hours starting 1 Jan 2025

AYY is simplifying the booking for rental facilities by standardising user hours and rental prices. Changes will take effect on 1 Jan 2025. The price changes will not affect reservations that have already been made; those bookings will remain valid at the price in effect at the time of booking. The new user hours and sauna heating schedules will apply from 1 Jan 2025 onward, without exceptions.

The new polyteekkari flag finally raised in Otaniemi

The 15-year wait of the Otaniemi teekkari community was rewarded in early November, when the community ceremonially introduced the new polyteekkari flag at the 153rd Teekkari Tradition Ball. The previous flag that had united the teekkaris of Otaniemi was the flag of the Student Union of the Helsinki University of Technology, which served the community from 1909 to 2009 and was laid to its well-earned rest with the founding of the Aalto University Student Union. This is how the new flag came into being.
