The building is situated at the axis leading from the Main Market Square to Aleje Trzech Wieszczów, at the 2nd campus of the Jagiellonian University. The main auditorium has 1500 seats and excellent acoustic conditions. There are also two smaller amphitheatre halls and two seminar exhibition halls. The mass is finished in dark greyish clinker bricks and it has a monumental, Minimalist and modern expression. It ties it, albeit not directly, with the classical forms – through the use of high colonnades, portico, parapet wall and a crepidoma. The building has a striking element – a break in its form, which allows to integrate an oak of over a hundred years into the atrium.
