The University of Lapland is located in the Rantavitikka district in a beautiful natural setting near Harjulampi, a scenic pond connected to the River Kemijoki. The architecture of the University of Lapland is designed by Juhani Katainen Architects, and the campus development process was executed in phases between 1987 and 2006. Before the university was built, the site was home to the vicarage of Rovaniemi. The cultural and historical heritage of the site lives on in the names of many of the interior spaces of the university.
In the university main building you will find all four of our faculties, our versatile teaching and learning spaces, the Lapland University Consortium Library, most of our administrative services, eight galleries and two restaurants. The university guest accommodation facilities are located in the immediate vicinity of the main building.
