Features
The heart of Porthania is the two-storeys high central hall which is decorated by two large murals by Arvid Broms and Olli Miettinen. Four auditoriums line the central hall, the largest of which seats 650 people and is still the largest auditorium in the whole university. Above the hall on the second floor is a student canteen. The upper five floors of Porthania house smaller auditoriums and offices.
