The second floor features the campus “living room” (a cozy gathering place for students with warm colors, fireplaces, and comfortable chairs), retail dining including a pool table, an information desk, and a career counseling center.

The third floor is dedicated to student meeting spaces and organizations and includes 600 SF of workspace with computer banks and multiple meeting rooms for students and clubs to employ and reserve, as well as the Talon Lounge.

The dining center on the fourth floor has seating for 800. Dining is buffet style with multiple stations where food is prepared directly in front of students. The fourth floor also features reservable spaces for group functions in the form of two multi-purpose rooms and an all-season balcony.
