Aztec Student Union, Student center at San Diego State University, California.
The Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union is the student center at San Diego State University with dining areas, study spaces, and meeting rooms distributed across multiple floors. The building contains recreational facilities and event spaces designed for student use and gatherings.
The Aztec Center, planned in the late 1950s and built in the early 1960s, was the first permanent student union in the California State University system. It housed restaurants, a movie theater, meeting rooms and student organization offices. It was demolished in 2011 to make way for the Aztec Student Union.
The Aztec name reflects the university mascot and shapes campus identity throughout the year. Students gather here for clubs, events, and social activities that define daily student life on campus.
The union sits near classrooms and administrative services and leads into the core of the SDSU campus, so it works well as a crossing point between classes. Its restaurants, meeting rooms and organization offices are spread through the building rather than on one level, so check the floor before setting out.
The building holds a LEED Double Platinum certification for environmental sustainability practices. This high environmental standard reflects a commitment to green building design on the campus.
