The archway is engraved on one side with a terrestrial topographic map, layered with images from science, such as a molecule of carbon; the other side has a map of an unidentified city, along with images associated with growth, such as an acorn.

A wall of the lobby has a mural of black granite and white marble featuring ancient and modern celestial charts from around the world.
