Story of the Keilaniemi metro station

The Keilaniemi metro station opened on Saturday 18 November 2017, when metro traffic on the Ruoholahti–Matinkylä section started up.  The metro station construction contract was implemented by Skanska Infra Oy.

The architecture of Keilaniemi station highlights the area’s role as a divider between work and home and the sea and land, as well as its location near the boundary between two cities. The cool, streamlined and metallic glow of the surrounding cluster of office buildings is reflected in the station’s appearance. The platform area ceiling includes an art installation of tube lights by artist duo Grönlund & Nisunen. The metro station was designed by ALA Oy + Esa Piironen Oy.

 

Keilaniemi as an area in Espoo

The Keilaniemi area is a blend of innovation, technology and business life.  With the head offices of many major Finnish companies as well as international businesses and start-ups located in the vicinity of the metro station, the metro will provide both employees and visitors easier access to the area. The metro will enable the Keilaniemi area’s development both as a place of employment and as a residential area. Some 3,800 people live in the Otaniemi–Keilaniemi area, but that figure is estimated to grow to 15,000 by the year 2050. The number of jobs is also expected to increase from the current figure of just under 8,000 to roughly 11,000.

There will be the Jokeri Light Rail line between Keilaniemi in Espoo and Itäkeskus in Helsinki.
