Astra
A new building is taking shape at the heart of Åbo Akademi University’s campus. Astra is set to become a meeting place for students, staff, and all who wish to engage with and be inspired by the academic environment.
The building will be home to the Departments of Social Sciences and Economics, along with a large part of the University Services of Åbo Akademi and a restaurant. The construction of Astra began in 2023, with completion scheduled for 2025.
