Special attention deserves the design of vertical and horizontal circulation and its integration with the surrounding. Located in front of Euclid Avenue, one of the main ways to communicate with downtown Cleveland, the center hopes to become an access point to campus and allow the integration of the university with the surrounding areas. The center has wide sidewalks, pedestrian bridges, gardens and spaces that facilitate the exterior circulation. Inside found corridors, some with large windows that provide beautiful panoramic views of the exterior, others with interesting views into the building. Also found huge rooms that facilitate the circulation and make the inside nice and cool. The building has three levels. The level one has a ramp circulation that leads to outdoor plaza. The second level provides direct access to the campus-wide interior walkway system. The communication between these three levels is achieved through several stairs placed in strategic locations and two elevators located near the center of the building.
