The Student Center of Cleveland State University is located in front of the Euclid  Avenue, in Ohio, United States, it was designed by Charles Gwathmey, a important architect of New York, the construction of the building are completed in 2010 and it have three floors.  This building was built with the purposes that be a connection between the  university and the noisy city, and offers a wide range of activities for both students and teachers, such bookstore, cyber, food court and dining areas, flexible conference center, office suite, and so on. If we take a look at this beautiful building we can see that complies with the two types of circulation. 

Let's start talking about the vertical circulation in the building, both inside and outside we see the use of stairs. The most of the stairs are normal except for an outside staircase that is interrupted, this makes the person does not get tired so fast. Also, you can see the use of ramps for cars and people. Below of the building there is a parking, and access it is a comfortable ramp. The ramp for the people is for enter to the front door of the building and in the first floor there is other ramp that leads to a redesigned outdoor square. Also, the building have a elevator system.  Now let's talk about the horizontal circulation in the building, outside of them, we can see a little path, inside of construction we can identify some forms of the circulation spaces, like big corridors and halls, special rooms dedicated for each activity, which is necessary because this building includes a large number of different activities that require separate spaces.  In my personal opinion, I think that the architect achieved a great job, because has the Intelligence to commit to a project that does not look so great from the outside, but when you see inside all the rooms and circulation problems with those who had to work, is really impressive. And the use of the natural light with this big windows is the cherry of the cake. media type="file" key="cake.wma"
