Celebration of Life — Glass Atrium
120 seated facing away from the stair, with the reception already set behind them.
The Atheneum · Glass Atrium · 100′ × 78′, 44′ ceiling

Why it is laid out this way
- The seating faces south, away from the grand stair, so the family is not watching every late arrival come down it.
- The reception is laid in around the reflecting pool before the service starts — the turn takes moving chairs and nothing else.
- Accessible spaces sit at the ends of the first two rows, on the flat, with no chairs to pass.
