Sauna, laundry room and parking spaces

Sauna

Almost all Kuopas buildings have a sauna.

Free public sauna shift once a week (check the time on the sauna door)
You can book your own weekly sauna shift (1 hour/week): customerservice@kuopas.fi
Price: 20 €/month
Minimum time: 1 calendar month
- You can start in the middle of a month, but you can cancel at the earliest by the end of the next month
- Cancellation: by email to customer service, valid until the end of the current month

Sauna doors operate electronically and open automatically at the start of your shift.

If you want to book a shift on a day where there are already reservations:
- You can book available slots on days and times that already have bookings.
- Example: If Thursday is full, you can book a new shift on Friday.
If you want to open a completely new sauna day:
- You need to gather at least three consecutive reservations for the same day.
- For example, you can organize this together with friends from your building.

Everyone is responsible for cleanliness: wash the sauna facilities after use, rinse benches and floors.

Avoid excessive water use in the sauna room, it shortens the lifespan of the benches and wood panels.

► Sauna locations can be found in the Building Guide.

Almost all Kuopas properties have a laundry room and a drying room. The use of laundry facilities is free of charge.

Bookings are made via the electronic reservation system.
→ To book laundry turns, you must register in the Enkora system.

Reserve enough time: the machine adjusts the program duration based on the weight of the laundry.
Follow the operating instructions and submit a fault report immediately if a machine malfunctions.
Use an appropriate amount of detergent.
