The Finnish Heritage Agency's description

Hyytiälän metsäasemalla on merkitystä tieteenhistorian kannalta ja sen vanhimman osan rakennuksilla on tärkeä asema kansallisromanttisen arkkitehtuurin edustajina. Rakennukset ja alue ovat säilyttäneet alkuperäisen luonteensa.

Helsingin yliopiston Maatalous-metsätieteellisen tiedekunnan Hyytiälän metsäasemaa ympäröivät Pohjois-Hämeen laajat, harvaan asutut metsäseudut.

Yhtenäiseen, kansallisromanttiseen tyyliin rakennetun metsäaseman vanha pihapiiri 1910-luvulta muodostuu neljästä rakennuksesta eli metsäoppilaiden asuntolasta Impivaarasta, ruokalarakennuksesta, halkovarastosta ja työkaluvarastosta. Näiden rakennusten sulkeman pihapiirin keskellä on puinen Vellikello ja pihan ulkopuolella aikoinaan harvalukuisten naisopiskelijoiden asuinrakennus Impilinna. Puistoalueella on entinen aseman esimiehen huvila Pilvilinna sekä entinen aluemetsänhoitajan asuintalo Tapiola.
Hyytiälän metsäaseman pihapiiriin on istutettu 1910-luvulta lähtien noin 150 ulkomaista alkuperää olevaa puu- ja pensaslajia.

Metsäasema on alkuperäisessä käytössään ja toimii nykyisinkin metsätieteen opiskelijoiden kenttäkurssi- ja harjoittelupaikkana.

Korkein metsäopetus siirrettiin Evon metsäopistosta keisarilliseen Aleksanterin yliopistoon 1907 ja senaatti luovutti 1910 Hyytiälän alueen valtion maat metsäylioppilaiden harjoitusalueeksi. Metsäaseman kansallisromanttiset, vuoraamattomat hirsirakennukset suunniteltiin yleisten rakennusten ylihallituksessa (Th. Granstedt, R. Björnberg 1911) ja ne valmistuivat 1912.

Vanhan pihapiirin läheisyyteen valmistui 1959 Instituutti-, opetus-, toimisto- ja laboratoriorakennus sekä 1977 ympärivuotiset asuntolat.

The Hyytiälä forest station, Hyytiälän metsäasema, is of significance to the history of science, and the oldest part of its buildings has an important place as representatives of National Romantic architecture. The buildings and the area have retained their original character.

The Hyytiälä forest station of the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry is surrounded by the extensive, sparsely populated forest districts of North Häme.

The old courtyard of the forest station, built in a uniform National Romantic style in the 1910s, consists of four buildings: the residence of forestry students, Impivaara, a dining building, a woodshed and a tool store. In the middle of the courtyard enclosed by these buildings stands the wooden Vellikello, and outside the courtyard is Impilinna, formerly the residential building for the few female students. In the park area are the former residence of the station's head, the villa Pilvilinna, and the former residence of the district forester, Tapiola.
Since the 1910s, around 150 tree and shrub species of foreign origin have been planted in the courtyard area of the Hyytiälä forest station.

The forest station is still in its original use and continues to serve as a field course and training site for students of forest science.

Higher forestry education was transferred from the Evo Forestry Institute to the Imperial Alexander University in 1907, and in 1910 the Senate transferred the state lands of the Hyytiälä area to be used as a training area for forestry students. The National Romantic, unclad log buildings of the forest station were designed by the Board of Public Buildings (Th. Granstedt, R. Björnberg 1911) and were completed in 1912.

In the vicinity of the old courtyard, an institute, teaching, office and laboratory building was completed in 1959, and year-round dormitories in 1977.
