Kids on campus
Tampere University Community aims to accommodate the diverse needs of its campus users as well as possible. We want to support fluent everyday life also when the youngest family members accompany you to campus.
Below you will find information on childcare facilities available across our campuses. The list includes, for example, locations of changing tables and spaces for breastfeeding. Some buildings also provide dedicated rooms for resting and childcare. Additional information and guidance are available from campus information desks.
