The Craft Room and the Studio now accessible with access code
AYY's Craft Room and Studio can now be accessed with a code! You can access to all one-time rental facilities with a booking-specific code, which you can find in your booking information in the Tila system. You only need to collect a key from the Service Office (Mon, Wed & Fri 12-15) when booking the van.
Please note! The access route to the Studio has changed. The entrance to the Studio (Jämeräntaival 1) is via the basement corridor known as the Cultural Corridor on the side of Otakaari 20. Watch the video tutorial here.
Private individuals pay the facility rent at the time of booking
Private individuals, i.e. individual students who make a reservation for their own use, pay the facility rent already at the time of booking. Facility reservations are made as usual in the Tila calendar. After making the reservation, Tila guides the booker to Paytrail payment service, where payment can be made using online banking or debit and credit cards.
Separately agreed billing customers, such as external bookers and specific associations within AYY, will receive the e-invoice/e-mail invoice at the address they have provided.
