Also on the first floor are the University Bookstore, American Bank, 78412 Post Office, Campus Copies and The Channels TV Lounge. At 6,400 square feet, the Lone Star Ballroom is the other dominant feature of the University Center's first floor. This multipurpose event space, combined with 12 other meeting rooms on all three floors, provides more than 16,000 square feet of event space. All of these rooms have telephone, computer and video connection capability. On the second floor balcony overlooking the Commons, the Perks Coffee Shop and Breakers game room combine coffee house and recreation activities. The Student Activities Office, Student Organization Area, University Center offices, more meeting/event space and a study lounge occupy the remainder of this level. The third floor includes several meeting rooms, The Dock TV Lounge, the Career Services Office, Student Affairs Office, the Student Programs Office, Women's Center and more study space.
