Simultaneously with Xamk's new facility, the adjacent Event Centre Satama (designed by ALA Architects, 2023) was constructed to host large-scale events and provide them with catering services. Xamk's building was designed to work in synergy with the Event Centre Satama, allowing both buildings to benefit from each other's functions and share several spaces.
