On the ground floor the bases of the columns are clad with steel plates. Inside there are lights and holes in the steel to suggest fragments of an atomic pattern and represent solid-state physics, the foundation of the physical sciences. The silvery steel light standards on the second floor are shaped to look like two molecules merging and are there to represent the molecular science fields. The staircase leading to the upper floors is faced with the frieze painted with a design like the spiraling "double-helix" of DNA- the molecular chain on which living matter is based. On the top floor, suspended from the ceiling, is a stainless steel sculpture of 1,800 laser-cut stars, representing the field of astrophysics (Bloomer, 1989)., K.
