The Metsätalo building (main entrance at Unioninkatu 40 B) is the centre of activities during the congress week. The registration and information desk and the congress office are located there. Unicafe on the basement level of the building serves coffee during the session breaks. The University Main Building has two entrances, one from the Fabianinkatu side (the new part of the building) and one from the Unioninkatu (Senate Square) side (the old part). The opening session, the university reception and the closing session are held on the second floor of the Main Building on the Unioninkatu side. The session rooms are on the third and fourth floors: Auditoria (e.g., Aud XII) refer to rooms in the old part, whereas those in the new part are referred to simply as Rooms 1 to 14 (e.g., Room 8). Coffee is served on the second and fourth floors during the session breaks. The Unicafe restaurant is located on the first floor of the building. Fringe meetings and a few sessions are held in the A and F buildings of the Topelia quarter (entrance through Unioninkatu 38). The Gustus & Vera's open-air restaurant and café area is situated in the inner courtyard.
