The Aztec Student Union is a student union in the center of San Diego State University's campus, just east of Malcolm A. Love Library. The Aztec Student Union was known as the Aztec Center from 1968 to 2011, when it was demolished for the Aztec Student Union.^[1] The Aztec Student Union leads into the heart of the SDSU campus and is located near many classrooms and administrative services.

Aztec Center

The Aztec Center offered a variety of services, places, and spaces geared to the needs of students including restaurants, movie theater, meeting rooms, and various student organizations.^[2] It was also home to the Associated Students' Government & Business Office, Council Chambers, the Government Affairs Office and Meeting Services. Many student organizations also housed their offices in the Aztec Center.^[2]

History

The Aztec Center, planned in the late 1950s and built in the early 1960s, was the first permanent student union in the California State University system.^[3]
