The original interior courtyards have been redesigned to create the imposing new entrance space of the Atrium. Glass roofs and light, polished Portuguese stone floors that reflect the daylight give the Atrium a spacious and luminous look and feel. The warm brick façades of the surrounding main building, with their myriad of windows and niches, face onto the interior courtyards.
