The design of the CSU have these different spaces: library, dining hall, offices for student activities , computer access and meeting space , in three spacious floors around a central atrium.

It also allows students to go to activities that will occur within the building, and so don't collapse the building entrances. At the second floor, the main activity is the dining room and food centers. This is why it is spacious, where you place the tables and the food centers sets. On the third floor are taken place more specific activities. Is not expect to have a lot of people doing activities at the same time on this floor that is why the corridors are more narrow, but the main entrance has a wide space.
