In this wiki page I am going to talk about the Cleveland State University Student Center. It will take a brief information about the building itself to also talk about the form of circulation outside and inside the student center.

It is a building destined to connect the university campus with it's surroundings and also to offer a wide range of services to the student population. As you can see, the way people approaches the building is basically frontal, or, depending from the point of view, in an spiral form. The pedestrian has many options to access the buildings from many points. Inside the building there is a very defined horizontal circulation throughout all the public spaces, formed by the circular shape of the student center.



The vertical circulation is formed by the modules of stairs that lead to upper levels and the staggered ramp in the main public space in the access level. This ramp probably serves as a good circulation element for a cafeteria or a restaurant that moves big quantities of people crossing the area.

As a way of concluding I could say that this building counts with a good circulation system; designed for leading a -heavy weight- traffic of people coming in and coming out of the University.
