Houston Hall was the country's first student union, and it remains in service to students to this day. The lower level is a campus eatery, offering many varieties of food, retail shops, and a game room. The Hall of Flags is available for evening events. The first floor houses the University's information center, a cafe, music room and a large study lounge. The upper floors contain performance spaces, meeting rooms and offices for student organizations.
