The Bloch Building is full of surprises! As I learn to navigate my way around the new building, I keep finding new spaces and interesting features.

I was recently poking around for fun things to blog about when one of the helpful security officers showed me something I hadn’t realized until now. Not all the walls in the Bloch Building are walls.

Architect Steven Holl’s design creates a flowing, organic experience. These doors may be closed when maintenance or movement is needed providing for minimal interruption to the visitor’s experience with the collection.

Stay tuned for the next posting to find out what’s behind the door!
