The building features a large lobby and study space, a auditorium-style lecture hall that seats 468 people (MY150), and a variety of tutorial rooms and meeting rooms. MY150 spans two floors, and contains stadium-style seating and numerous large screens.
The building contains two large open spaces other than the lobby--a 5th floor atrium, and an 8th floor terrace space. These spaces are often used by the faculty to hold events, such as alumni reunion events.
The basement of Myhal contains the EngSoc Arena, a design team space containing several small garages in which design teams store materials and a large open space for working in. Upon opening, the space faced large amounts of criticism from design teams stating the arena did not have adequate space or ventilation for the majority of design team work. The basement also is home to a few offices for student groups (such as Skule Music), and many large lockers for various EngSoc affiliated groups, as well as a small kitchette space containing a microwave, sink, and vending machines.
In an APS111 lecture in 2018, Professor Susan McCahan revealed that she had helped design the concept for the building on a napkin (unconfirmed).
