Kallanranta Campus in Kuopio
The government agency building in Kuopio serves as the centre of local government and provides a wide range of facilities and services for public administration actors.
If an organisation has usage rights to the shared work environment, its employees may work at the location. Next to the conference centre, there are also a few bookable workstations available for central government employees whose organisations do not have usage rights to the shared work environment. For more detailed instructions, see the section Workstations and meeting rooms.
In Kuopio, work is underway on developing the Kallanranta block to create shared work environments and a shared service point for central government actors in two buildings. The first phase of the redevelopment has been completed to schedule and the premises were brought into use in August 2024. The Kallanranta redevelopment will complete in its entirety in the second half of 2026, when most of Kuopio’s central government actors will be located on the Kallanranta Campus.
Kallanranta is currently home to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, Business Finland, Finnvera plc, the Public Guardianship office, Metsähallitus, the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY) for North Savo, Defence Properties Finland, Pelimies Kallanranta, Senate Properties and the Arts Promotion Centre Finland.

Workstations and meeting rooms
If an organisation has usage rights to the shared work environment, its employees may work at the location. Next to the conference centre, there are also a few bookable workstations available for central government employees whose organisations do not have usage rights to the shared work environment. An individual employee may use these workstations up to 12 times per year.
Workstations are booked via the Facility reservations in Senate’s e-service. If the reservation system is not available to the organisation, a workstation can be booked through the reception services of the property concerned. The person making the reservation must use their work email to provide reception services with their name, organisation, phone number, email address, and the date and time of the reservation.
Meeting rooms can be reserved via Senate’s e-service. The meeting rooms on floor K are used for meetings with stakeholders and non-central government actors. Conference rooms in the shared work environment are reserved solely for the internal use of central government actors.
