Kuusamo ARK, or the Kuusamo Arctic Residence Centre, is a residency centre situated within the premises of Kuusamo College.

The college is located in the heart of Kuusamo, surrounded by a charming and lush green landscape.

At Kuusamo ARK, guests are provided with fully furnished rooms complete with fresh linens and towels. While the kitchen and showers are shared, ensuring the common spaces are clean and orderly is a shared responsibility. To assist with this, house cleaning services are provided once in every two weeks for both the rooms and common areas.

Majala

Majala is a two-story wooden building that houses the kitchen and cafeteria of Kuusamo College. In addition to these dining facilities, Majala also offers meeting rooms and accommodations. Our cafeteria serves lunch on weekdays, except on holiday weeks. For larger groups, we are happy to provide breakfasts, dinners, and packed lunches upon request.

All accommodation and workspaces are equipped with wireless Internet connections.There are further common facilities in the main building, such as a laundry room and a sauna, which are at the disposal of the residency guests.

If your visit requires special needs or you wish to collaborate with others (such as travel/nature services), please include this in your work plan.

The work plan must clearly state the need for workspaces, as the spaces are mainly used for the college's training and course activities, and thus the possibility of using the workspaces is limited.

Possibility also for short retreats and holding exhibitions in the offices of our partners. Please mention in your work plan if you intend to hold an exhibition during the residency.
