The building has seven floors, over 2000 rooms and three main auditoriums (Opera and Ballet Hall, Drama Hall, Studio). In addition it has a restaurant that seats 120, a club, a café, a reading café and a kitchen.

Several artworks are located in the interior and exterior spaces of the SND New Building, among them a fountain by Alexander Bilkovic, Ilja Skocek and Peter Bauer in front of the building. The front foyer features Spring by Pavel Bauer and the painter Dušan Buril; Cascade by Peter Roller and Two Towers by the architect Peter Bauer are in front of the building. Apart from the artworks, which are an integral part of the premises, theatre costumes and exhibitions are on display in the corridors of the building.
