The City of Espoo and LatausPolku Oy are launching charging cabinets for electronic bicycle batters at three major transport hubs in Espoo: A Bloc in Otaniemi, Pikkulaiva in Espoonlahti and Iso Omena in Matinkylä. Finland’s first fireproof charging cabinet was put into service in Otaniemi, Espoo, in April.

A Bloc x Spacehub provides a private workspace for meetings, phone calls and concentrated work. The workspace is located on the second floor of the shopping center, next to Pakettipiste parcel point.

Esport Aalto Oy ceases operations and closed its doors in shopping centre A Bloc in Otaniemi on 24 March 2021.

The renovation of the beautiful building designed by Alvar Aalto will be completed by summer. With the new name and visual identity, Otaniemi's old shopping centre will become A Bloc’s sibling centre.

The installation Julia Lohmann designed for the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2020, is on display at the A Bloc shopping centre in Otaniemi from 16 November to 9 May.
