The Väre Building is the new home of the Aalto University School of Art, Design and Architecture and the School of Business. Väre, which means ripple or glimmer in English, is adjacent to the iconic earlier main buildings designed by Alvar and Elissa Aalto in the 1960s. The Väre Building introduces a significant new dynamic to the modernist Otaniemi campus. It plays a key role both in the transformation of the Aalto University, a merger of earlier universities of business, design and sciences, and in the development of the Otaniemi district as a part of the growing Finnish metropolitan region.
