The Laptop Lender service is now available for University staff and degree students during Info Centre opening hours (Mon–Thu 7:45 AM–8 PM, Fri 7:45 AM–6 PM, Sat 10 AM–4 PM) at the building’s main lobby. You can borrow a Lenovo laptop for four hours at a time from the lender.
The IT Center has piloted Laptop Lender at Viikki Info Centre from spring 2023. The service was originally piloted at Alexandria at the City Centre Campus.
The Laptop Lender service will replace IT station desktop computers in the future, allowing for more flexible use of borrowed laptops at University campuses.

How to borrow a laptop from Laptop Lender:
- You need identification (such as a printing card, HSL card or a University ID/access key) to borrow a laptop. Please do not use your smartphone as an identification card.
- You also need your University username and a mobile phone. When using Laptop Lender for the first time, you will register your identification card for the service with your University username. You only need an identification card and the pin code sent to you by Laptop Lender to borrow a laptop.
- You can borrow a laptop for four hours at a time. When returning a laptop, remember to plug it to the outlet in the compartment. Loan laptops work around the entire Viikki Campus area.
