Work environments
We help government organisations to update their ways of working and create practical, safe work environments that support their work. Our goal is to provide work environments that improve the work performance of our clients and reduce the government’s facility costs.
According to the government’s strategy, facilities should support productivity and emerging ways of work and cooperation. The government favours neither local nor multi-location work; both are equally valid ways of working. These policies also shape the facilities and their design. In future, public administration will increasingly move to shared facilities, and municipalities and the government will have joint customer service points.
Towards shared work environments
We offer shared work environments as a service in line with the central government’s premises strategy. In future, public administration will increasingly move to shared facilities and, even though government is going digital, government agency services are still required. Where government agencies are found at the same address, there is no need for citizens to visit many different addresses. And since some resources are shared, coworking spaces result in higher quality solutions for the same money. As the facilities are also designed to be energy efficient and travel decreases, this reduces the carbon footprint.

Activity-based office
Activity-based environments require companies to adopt a completely new culture and ways of working and managing. Senate Properties promotes smarter government workplaces and comes up with new ideas and experiments on how we could work smarter.
For better indoor conditions
We want to help ensure that everyone working in the offices, institutions, barracks and bureaus of Finland have the best possible conditions in their working environment so as to maintain the welfare, organisation and safety of society. After all, a healthy working environment is the foundation of the well-being of us all.
