Georgia Tech Student Center
The Georgia Tech Student Center has two wings—the Student Center proper and the Student Center Commons. The division of these wings can make it somewhat difficult for newcomers to navigate as there are two second floors which do not connect. (See building map.) The wing and floor of each relevant room in the facility is carefully denoted with both the wing and floor number so as to reduce confusion.

Other rooms
- (Organisation, staff, speakers, interviews/press, storage)
The rooms on the third floor of the Student Center wing are probably best suited for these purposes.
Socializing areas, lounges and eateries
- (Garden, lounge etc., their capacity and the hours at which they are opened/closed)
Lounge areas are located throughout the Student Center as well as in most dormitory buildings. Several restaurants and a food court are also in the building (see this list of retail space and their hours of operation). There is a large amount of green space adjacent to the Student Center and a large outdoor meeting area at the Kessler Campanile, which can serve as a high-capacity auditorium. There is a recreation facility, Tech Rec, on the first floor of the Student Center that offers Bowling, Billiards, and Video Gaming. (See the Tech Rec website.) The restaurants in Technology Square as well as other green spaces on campus are are accessible by walking or by using Tech's free bus and trolley system.
