One important note when moving around inside the school. The school's interior is a so-called clean room, and you are not allowed to walk around inside with shoes on. Shoes must be left inside the front door in the entryway.
Available facilities
The school facilities themselves are divided into two parts:
From the yard, the left-side door leads to the ground-floor changing rooms, which contain showers and toilets.
You go upstairs via the stairs, where the competition information and the cafeteria are located.
In addition, locker room facilities for the artificial ice and artificial turf fields are available in the yard. Showers and restrooms can also be found here.
Next to the school, on the shore of Urpolanlampi lake, there is a swimming beach where you can take a dip after the competition. So, it's worth bringing your swimsuit.
The competition information located upstairs is open on Friday from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM and on Saturday from 6:00 AM onwards.
Food is available in the upstairs dining room from 12:00 PM.
Exchange area
The maintenance and substitution area for the teams will be Urpola artificial turf field. Nothing with spikes is allowed on the field, as heating pipes run underneath the artificial turf.
From the field, teams can grab a spot they like for their belongings.
During the competition, access to the field is always from the southwest corner, and departure from the field is from the southeast corner.
Water will be available near the exit during the competition.
When leaving the maintenance area, please organize your belongings neatly and place smaller items in boxes or similar containers if possible, so they don't break or get lost as people move around them.
Unloading and parking
Goods can be unloaded from cars in the parking areas at both ends of the artificial turf field, but actual parking takes place on the other side of Highway 5 in the so-called. On the barrack field. Parking here is free. Access to the field is via Ratsurinkuja and Prikaatinkatu.
