YIT starts construction of the educational building of Tikkurila Competence Campus - value to YIT EUR 77 million

YIT and VTK Kiinteistöt Oy have signed a contract for the implementation phase of the educational building of Tikkurila Competence Campus and will begin the project’s construction work. During the development phase, the amount for the collaborative project management contract was revised to 77 million euros. The contract will be entered in YIT’s order book for the second quarter of 2026.

During the development phase, the scope of the property was specified to be approximately 25,000 gross square meters. Construction work will be completed at the end of 2028.

The property will be connected to a network of existing buildings and properties planned for the area with a view to combining the activities taking place in the area into a densely built and communal shared-use campus complex. The educational building will be implemented in accordance with strict social and environmental requirements.

When the facilities are completed, they will be used by more than 2,700 students and about 300 staff members. The building will be a vibrant gathering place, serving scheduled school activities while also offering versatile facilities and services to local stakeholders, from babies to seniors, from morning to evening.

"We take into account user-orientation and adaptability in design and construction, so that the premises will serve future needs as well as possible. The Tikkurila Competence Campus will form a new kind of meeting place for learning and working life, combining modern learning environments, flexible spaces, and sustainable building solutions,” explains Matti Sarikkola, Vice President of the Private New Construction Unit at YIT.

"Tikkurila Competence Campus is a great investment for Vantaa in future learning and the vitality of the city. A completely new campus in Tikkurila brings together diverse educational activities and creates an inspiring, communal environment for students and staff – as well as services and facilities that create a living area from morning to night. We are happy that we are now able to launch an important urban development project together with YIT and VTK Kiinteistöt Oy,” said Mayor of Vantaa Pekka Timonen.

The project supports the development of the Tikkurila city center as a vibrant, accessible, and pleasant urban center. The users of the campus area’s educational block, the Kortteli 1 building, include Vantaa Adult Education Center, Vocational College Varia, Tikkurila Upper Secondary School, Tikkurila Adult Upper Secondary School, and Vantaa Music Institute.
