The primary tenants of the building are University Unions and Student Activities and the music department, but the building also contains art galleries, two ballrooms, an art gallery, and offices for student media such as WUVT.

The second renovation was completed in 1991, adding the food court area that today contains Au Bon Pain and Sbarro. Sbarro was replaced with Burger 37, a self-branded burger joint that many students compare to Five Guys.
