TINFO's premises are at the theatre organisations' own building, The Theatre Corner, in the centre of Helsinki. Under the same roof, even along the same corridor, are the offices of the unions of both theatre employers and employees, associations of big established theatres as well as those of the free theatre groups. The building also accommodates the editorial office of the country's only Finnish language theatre magazine Teatteri as well as Finland's main drama agency the Nordic Drama Corner. In addition to the Finnish Centres of ITI and NTU the Theatre Corner houses two other Finnish centres of international organisations: OISTAT and ASSITEJ.
