SRV stated that the building’s multifunctionality and efficiency will be enhanced with the construction of South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk) beside the event centre.

Furthermore, the lobby of the Satama Areena will serve as the main entrance to the Xamk campus as well as the restaurants as student cafeterias.

SRV Helsinki Metropolitan Area Business Premises senior vice president Jouni Forsman said: “We’re keen to bring our expertise to the Satama Areena project, as we’ll be embarking on the creation of a new landmark in Kotka.

“We have experience not only in demanding wooden construction, but also in impressive arena projects, such as UROS LIVE, which is currently under construction in Tampere.

“We also have experience in adaptable spaces for conferences and events, such as the University of Helsinki’s Think Corner.”
