Toward the front entrance, the spreading wings in view to each side. The cafeteria/library wing. Whimsical canopy is whimsical. Lots of curves. A waiting area in front. The generous stairwell, with its cheerful hues. Inside view of the front canopy. I think the lights were designed as such for ease of cleaning. Window space.
