Hartela selected for Turku Collection Center development

Hartela has been selected to manage the development phase of the Turku Collection Center project in Finland. The project, commissioned by Kiinteistö Oy Turun Monitoimitilat, is scheduled to begin its development phase in early September 2026.

Located on Turku Aerotie, the approximately 15,000 gross square meter facility will serve the Turku City Museum, the WAM Contemporary Art Museum, and the Turku City Archives. The center aims to consolidate collections and archival materials that are currently dispersed across various locations into a single, specialized facility.

The building will feature strictly controlled environmental conditions and reliable technical solutions designed to ensure the long-term preservation of cultural heritage for decades. The project is being executed as a collaborative project management contract, allowing the client, users, designers, and contractor to coordinate functional, technical, and sustainability goals from the early stages.
