CSU, University of Cleveland In 2010, was founded the Center Student University of Cleveland, it has a wide range of internal spaces where are developed different activities and occurs the interaction among students. This spaces are: shops, libraries, restaurant, cybercafes, conference and games rooms, dance hall and class rooms. That's why the pedestrian circulation within and around of the CSU is highly pronounced, but the design of this structure provides a good pedestrian traffic, applied to the large number of students that pass to the site. Let's see: The design of the structure was created by Gwathmey Siegel. In it was inclded different points of convergence that connect with all campus, as the pedestrian bridges, the main square and parking below ground to reduce the flow of people moving in the nodes of the building.

These nodes there are on the four floors, here is meet the requirements of the horizontal circulation: configuration of the size, shape, meaning, direction and level changes. This is observed on the second floor, which has an direct input to the gangway (the principal internal access of the campus). On the first and third floor there are a large concentration of students, since is located the main atrium and the terrace, respectively. The CSU of the University of Cleveland has four stairs and two elevators on each floor, this facilitates the mobilization of the people for the 138,000 feet of high that has the building. Vertical circulation is very well structured: the openings for pedestrian is on the ground floor and third floor, in the others there are more concentration of people, therefore it was necessary create different vertical circulation systems in the structure.

So, in my opinion that is a building very well designed, as the creator not only focused on how beautiful and durable it can be, but also in the circulation alternatives that it can provide to pedestrians.
