Oval-Table Reception — Glass Atrium
80 covers on three ovals — serpentine half-rings joined by a straight run.
The Atheneum · Glass Atrium · 100′ × 78′, 44′ ceiling

Why it is laid out this way
- An oval is two serpentine half-rings joined by a straight run — covers on the outside only, at 2′ 2″ each, and a 5′ well down the middle the florist fills.
- All three are laid AROUND the reflecting pool, not over it — the pool is the centrepiece the room already owns, so the plan rings it in lanterns and leaves it alone.
- Every chandelier hangs at 22′ under the skylight and every pin spot at 30′, so the floor plan underneath stays a floor plan.
