The building was originally built in the early 1900s and has not been updated since 2000.
NCC Building Nordics head Catarina Molén-Runnäs said: “The building is old, and one of Finland’s most famous.
“Preserving and respecting the building’s architectural value is one of the top priorities in the work on this project, both in the planning phase and during the renovation itself.
“At the same time, we are going to adapt the building to future needs, reusing where we can and making the building as energy efficient as possible.”
Construction work will begin immediately and is set for completion in 2026.
NCC will record this order in its fourth-quarter 2023 bookings under its NCC Building Nordics business segment.
