Functional home
The smallest apartments in the renovated buildings A and C are Functional homes for students. These apartments are furnished and so they are suitable for exchange students or for people who live in another city and study in Jyväskylä a few days a week, for example.
The bed in the Functional homes can be lifted up against the wall so that the bed doesn’t take out space during the day and there are more square metres for other use. An addition to the functionality of the bed is a desk that is comes up when the bed is up against the wall. This multi-purpose piece of furniture is used to add to the cosiness and functionality of the small apartment.
