The Centre which has been operating since 1923, is aimed at improving students' living conditions, along with their social and intellectual development and recreation, through processes of perticipation, socialization and self-administration.
Since 1930 the centre is located at the corner of Hippokratous and Akademias Streets. The building was constructed in the period between the two World Wars, with plans based on the study drawn in 1927 by the architect E. Lazarides. Today, it belongs to the National and Kapodistrian University (Bequest of Papadakis).
