An aerial view of the Cesar Chavez Student Center, completed in 1975 and designed by architect Paffard Keatinge-Clay with direct student involvement. The building’s angular concrete forms, elevated walkways, and stepped terraces reflect its “iceberg” concept, with spaces intended to balance quiet, introspective use and active public gathering. Seen from above, the circulation paths and terraces emphasize the Center’s role as a central hub of student movement and activity on campus.
