If possible, come in the morning to avoid the afternoon rush. The busiest time is typically between 11.00 and 15.00. You can use the post box in the 4th floor staircase to drop off any post. The staircase can be accessed on weekdays from 6.00 to 20.00 and on Saturdays from 7.30 to 16.00.
On most days, there is a security guard at our door to guide you. If you are unsure how to proceed, you can ask the guard for advice.
The entrance is located on the Lyypekinkuja side. Drop-off traffic can stop right in front of the entrance. There is no accessible parking in the immediate vicinity of the entrance, but there is a large parking area in front of the building with three accessible parking spaces fairly close to the entrance of Employment Services. There are two consecutive steps at the entrance, with handrails on one side. The entrance has a steep ramp less than 6 m long with handrails on both sides. The entrance doors are clearly discernible. There is enough free space outside the door to accommodate assistive devices, such as a wheelchair. The door opens automatically with the push of a button. The service point is located on floor 4. The facilities have a lift with wheelchair access and an automatic door opening mechanism. The floor numbers of the lift can be felt with your fingers.
