Based on surveys from across the student population, the design for the York University New Student Centre places an emphasis on living space and transparency. With meeting rooms, group study areas, recreational spaces, club offices, administrative support offices, commercial spaces and multi-faith prayer rooms, the Student Centre will be a hub of student life on campus. It also has a multi-faith prayer space, space for over 135 student clubs, and an event hosting area that can hold up to 600 people.
