Aztec Amusement Center

The Aztec Center was a vibrant student union on the campus of San Diego State University that opened in 1968. For nearly 43 years, it served as a central gathering place for students, faculty, and the local community. The center housed a variety of recreational facilities, including a bowling alley, a billiards hall with arcade games, and performance venues. Financed entirely by student fees, the original Aztec Center was a significant hub of campus life until it was replaced by a new student union.
