The stunning main lobby of Riley Hospital for Children's Maternity Tower showcases a dramatic multi-story atrium that seamlessly blends historic brick architecture with contemporary design elements. The space features a mix of white modern seating and plum-colored armchairs arranged throughout the expansive area, while dramatic golden wood grain panels create visual impact on the upper level walls. Natural light floods in through skylights above, illuminating the preserved historic brick façade that forms the centerpiece of this welcoming family-centered environment, with visitors and staff moving comfortably through the thoughtfully designed space.
