Seen from the street, each side of the building has an upside-down-L shaped room that takes up most of that side, and a small part of the rear. The one on the right-hand side is the food service area. The rear part of the left-hand room has couple of pool tables, while the part on the left side of the building appears to be an art gallery. On the the right-hand corner of the front area, there are restrooms and a small room with two Sellafone Gadget Kiosks. This room has its own door to the outside. Most of the front is a study/lounge area with bookshelves, computers, desks, and some sofas.

The student union at La Fiesta Tech is called the LFT Student Union. It is an oddly-shaped building; when viewed from the street, it appears to be a square with its upper left and lower right corners cut off.

It is a two-story building. Taking the main entrance as the front, the left side of the first floor has a study/lounge area with computers and bookcases, then a small area with a couple of pinball machines and arcade games, and a sofa. The right side has the food service area, then a small TV area and a chess table. In the rear, there are doors which open onto a small patio with a barbecue grill. In the front part of the central area, there are a couple of Sellafone Gadget Kiosks and a couple of pool tables. The stairs to the second floor are toward the rear.

Again taking the main entrance's side as the front, the left side of the second floor has the restrooms and a study/lounge area. The right side has a shop which sells magazines and computer games, and an espresso bar.

What appears to be a small third story sits on the roof, but it has no floor and no stairs lead to it.

The student union at Académie Le Tour is called the Le Tour Student Center. Most of the lot is taken up by a large, open-air plaza that is centered on a large circular fountain. This plaza contains the food service area and an espresso bar, as well as several tables.

The building is laid out in an "L" shape along two sides of the plaza. It is at a corner, and each side has a first-floor entrance, as well as doors which lead to the plaza. On the first floor, the side with the main entrance (the one by the public telephone) has bathrooms to the right of the entrance. Going to the left, there is a small room with a dartboard, a small stereo, and a fireplace. To the left of that, there is a study room. Continuing into the other wing of the building, there are the stairs to the second floor, and two Sellafone Gadget Kiosks.

On the second floor, the wing with the stairs mostly contains individual study rooms, though there is also a small lounging space. The other wing contains pool and chess tables.
