The Club

Tampereen Teekkarikamerat (est. 1968) is a club for all photography minded students of the Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences.

Our club room (the “Darkroom”) is located in the basement of the Sähkötalo building on the Hervanta campus, in room SA005 in the area called Skellari. You can reach it by going down the stairs from the upper lobby of Sähkötalo, walking down past the FabLab and turning left. The ceiling sign for “clubrooms” guides you to the spiral staircase leading to Skellari.

The room is on the back corridor of Skellari. After you come down the spiral staircase, walk straight ahead, turn right at the WC's and turn right again at the end of the corridor. The Darkroom should then be on your left.

You can also reach the Skellari back corridor by entering through the side door located between Kampusareena and Sähkötalo and going down the stairs.

From Instagram, you can find a video how to get to the clubroom (to be updated soon :)). To see if the clubroom is open, you can ask our virtual mascot MarkkuBot with the command /darkroom.  Visiting Skellari requires Hervanta campus access and a special club access during late hours. You can get Skellari access rights by visiting Tietotalo info, showing your membership card and asking for access. If you're visiting for the first time and can't get in, please ask the board for help.
