The Student Union of the University of Oulu (OYY) is moving its offices from the city center to the University´s Linnanmaa campus. The Student Union will make its new home in the former premises of the University Language Center.
Student Union Secretary General Ilari Nisula has stated that the Union plans to move to Linnanmaa in September or October at the earliest.
The student organization is currently located in the Rauhala Building on Mannenkatu Street. All office employees as well as the editorial staff of the University´s Ylkkäri newsletter will take part in the move. The Student Union´s executive board will also see its offices moved.
Relocation to Linnanmaa, and the subsequent closer proximity to the majority of UO students, has long been a dream of the Union. The matter has been raised by the Student Union numerous times over recent decades.
"We are in good spirits. We have been waiting for this decision a long time", says Nisula.
