The South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk) is developing a new educational facility in Kotka, closer to the city center. This building, designed collaboratively with Aor Architects and others, aims to be architecturally impressive while serving as a community hub. Its design reflects the historical context of the Kantasatama port, drawing from the area's industrial aesthetic. The new structure will work in concert with the adjacent Event Centre Satama, enhancing both buildings' functionality and creating an engaging urban landscape for residents and students.
Xamk's new building is designed as a striking architectural presence, transforming the Kantasatama port area into a vibrant educational hub that integrates with the city.
The architectural design was inspired by the area's industrial past, aiming to create a functional and visually appealing structure that enhances the urban landscape.
Xamk's new facility, alongside the Event Centre Satama, aims to synergize both public buildings, fostering community engagement and providing versatile spaces for various events.
The aim for the Kotka campus was not just accessibility but also to create an architectural landmark that serves as a cultural magnet for the city.
