Commonly referred to as the SUB, the Student Union Building welcomes up to 20,000 people daily. The building is home to meeting and theatre spaces, a wide variety of dining outlets and various offices. Because the SUB is so versatile, Jon Mark Bernal, associate managing director of student union and activities, often refers to the building as Texas Tech's 'living room'.

"We love the fact that anybody and everybody comes through this building on a daily basis," said Bernal. "It's kind of just a multipurpose building. We say it's the center of campus."
