Oodi is a library of the modern era; a lively, functional place that brings people together.
Helsinki Central Library Oodi offers a wide selection of services and facilities for Helsinki residents at the heart of the city. Oodi is an architecturally unique building with glass and steel structures and a wooden facade. Its construction process required solid expertise and efficient cooperation between all the operators. Approximately 2,000 people, 150 contractors and 200 designers worked on the site.
