Can I use the word "accomodate" if I want to say that one building has different zones. Here is the sentence: The hub will accomodate conference rooms, open spaces, and a local branch of the National Technical University of Ukraine.

Yep, 'accommodates' works in this example. It can also be used in the following ways: The sedan accommodates five adult passengers...i.e. to physically fit something/someone. To accommodate the growth in business, the construction of a new showroom will begin in March...i.e. to accommodate a more abstract thing like business demand. He is very helpful and generally strives to accommodate customers no matter the request...i.e. to fulfill wishes, needs, requests of a person, project, etc.

Think of "accommodate" as a synonym for "welcome". I agree with all the comments.

Yes you can

As a native English speaker, I would simply say "have," not "accomodate." To accomodate something indicates that a change needs to be made. If a building is being built, the building will be static, not changing, and therefore, it will simply "have" different rooms. It will, however, accomodate, a variety of needs. You see, the needs are the things that will be changing. The building itself will not be changing. The needs (changing things) will be accommodated by the way the building is built, which is fixed, immutable, static. Therefore, the building does not accomodate the rooms, it accommodates the needs. The needs are accommodated by the different rooms. You could say this: The hub will have conference rooms, open spaces, and a local branch of the National Technical University of Ukraine to accomodate the various needs of the public.

For the foregoing reasons, this makes perfect sense if it is a new hub being built. It WILL accomodate a local branch.
