Atrium and Grand Stair Much more than a thoroughfare, the Grand Stair and Atrium constitute the New Academic Building’s main social space, arrestingly open to the street on Third Avenue. As described in New York Newsday, “Between the see-through lobby and crystal palace atrium, a curving grand staircase rises through the belly of the building, wide and long enough to accommodate a Broadway finale, an impromptu lecture or a flock of students lounging on the steps.”
