Presidium Commons

This article is about the location in Mass Effect 3. For the Presidium in general, see Presidium.

The Presidium Commons is a location in the Presidium on the Citadel. The Presidium Commons features shops, living quarters, a bank, Apollo's Cafe, and Meridian Place Market. The living quarters hallway features an advertisement for the new Blasto movie, and a C-Sec outpost oversees security for the area. One of the support struts above houses Huerta Memorial Hospital, on the same side as Apollo's Cafe.

The Presidium Commons incurs battle damage during the Cerberus attack on the Citadel. Smoke, bullet holes, and debris litter the place, and C-Sec guards increase their presence in the aftermath while cleanup and reconstruction efforts are ongoing.
