A massive sculpture of the Earth itself forms a dramatic centrepiece.
The Atrium consists of six sculpture display units which consist of glass base plinths, minerals, graphics, interactive monitors and a twenty foot high sculptured figure. The themes are based on the astronaut, science and the arts.

The elscalator takes the visitor through the middle of the 100 foot sphere, which is suspended in the main void of the atrium. Oxidised, beaten metal panels are riveted onto a framework and the whole unit slowly rotates. The lighting and projection creatures textures and movement to recreate an abstract version of the earths core and shifting magna plates.
