Gustaf Nyström, better known for his market halls in Helsinki and Turku, designed Tampere's Student Union House in 1901 in a Renaissance Revival style suited to the building's role as a civic and social meeting place for the city's growing educated class. Its red-brick facade and symmetrical composition place it among the more formal historicist buildings in central Tampere from the years just before Art Nouveau became the dominant fashion.
