The interior is based around the central 3 story atrium which on the ground floor houses the Piazza restaurant. Besides housing the International Pathway College, the Piazza Building also contains two laboratories, a 350-seat lecture theatre, and a 100-seat lecture room.[3] A study space termed the 'Library@Piazza' is located on the second floor.[4]
