First impressions:

The building is b-e-a-u-tiful. Finally, some collegiate architecture... VP is so not chic.

At 36th and Locust, this building is a prime pit-stop between classes.

An empty outdoor space in front is just asking to be turned into your new favorite outdoor study space for SABSing come spring.

The entire building is full of dark, sexy wood paneling. We approve.

 

When you walk in:

  • Mmm, what smells like tacos? Rick Bayless’ Tortas Frontera is open and serving a wide variety of mexican fare chock full of local ingredients.
  • The restaurant looks a little too much like a cafeteria, but the Hogwarts-esque common space makes you feel right at home.
  • A full spread of comfy modern couches await next to a fireplace--but no tables in the main room.
  • Rent a conference room for a private space to hold a meeting or cram for PSYC101.
  • NO BATHROOMS ON THIS FLOOR.
When you head downstairs:

A bathroom! A prime-pooping zone bathroom at that. (Check out the best bathrooms on campus!)

The Cultural Center houses swanky glass offices for MAKUU, The Black Cultural Center, PAACH, the Pan-Asian American Community House, and La Casa Latina, the Center for Hispanic Excellence.

A sleek study bench offers multiple tables and outlets for an additional study space.

 

When you ride the talking elevator up:

  • You’ll find a classy auditorium on the second floor, featuring a stage and two mega-platforms. Don’t worry if you can’t picture it, it’s probably just for donors.
  • The Fireside Lounge was locked--but it looked like a sweet new event space as well.
  • Visit the CURF offices above if you’re struck with Ben Franklin level curiosity and need a grant to know more.
