Vaisala will invest in a modern office building and laboratory facilities in
Vantaa, Finland

Vaisala has decided to build an office building of about 7,900 m² at Vantaa
headquarter site during the next three years. This new building is planned
mainly for R&D function, and the building will include versatile and modern
laboratory facilities. During the recent years, Vaisala has invested strongly in
R&D, which has created need for new facilities in order to accelerate growth.
The objective is to create flexible and modifiable workspaces for project teams
and collaboration as well as to create environment, which will foster rapid
prototype creation. Around 300 employees will be working in this building and it
will be equipped with geothermal heating and cooling systems as well as other
solutions supporting sustainability. During the next 2-3 years, this building
project is estimated to almost triple Vaisala's annual investments compared to
the current close to ten million euros level.
