Arken

Arken is a 13-building complex used by Åbo Akademi's Faculty of Arts, Psychology and Theology, located near the Aura River. The buildings contain teaching facilities, offices, a library, and an underground parking garage with 59 spaces. Arken's original buildings were constructed between 1850 and 1930 and offer an interesting overview of Finnish industrial architecture. The Åbo Akademi Foundation carried out extensive renovations in the block between 2001 and 2004, and additional new buildings were constructed on the plot. The original buildings in the complex are protected. Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt acquired Arken from the Åbo Akademi Foundation in 2025.

Turun Teknologiakiinteistöt's cleaning partner, Coor, delivers the waste sorted by customers to the recycling/waste station according to waste fractions. Due to limited space, cleaners may have to combine fractions in carts, but they are sorted appropriately at the recycling station. Different fractions should be clearly marked so the cleaner knows what is intended to be sorted in each container.

It is always a good idea to agree on the moving schedule and plan with us in advance. During moving work, floor and wall surfaces should be protected if necessary, and the building's freight elevator should be used primarily, if possible. Vehicles used for moving must be parked appropriately during the move, and service routes (loading docks/basement facilities) should be used whenever possible. Exterior doors must be kept closed during the heating season when goods are not being moved between the moving truck and the indoor spaces. For more information regarding moves, please contact our lobby service on weekdays from 8 AM to 4 PM at +358 10 315 3015.
