New locks will be installed in buildings F and H
| New contactless locks will replace the old locks on the front doors and apartments of the buildings F and H in the Kortepohja Student Village during week 44. The new key cards will be used as both the home key and the key to the common areas, so the separate village key will no longer be needed. The locks will be changed between November 1-5, 2021.
