The floating spiral staircase in the atrium of the Informatics Forum
This staircase links the three vestibules on the three middle floors which offer computing desk facilities to visitors. In busy times this makes it easy for visitors to move from one floor to another to find an empty desk. These wired university web facilities are in addition to the university web wifi which operates throughout the building, and in general anywhere within a stone's throw of any large university building.
There are a few other spiral staircases of this kind in the building. This is the most prominent one. It is viewed here from the other side of the atrium from the central open staircase and lift well which connects all floors. The view out from the bottom vestibule can be seen here.
At bottom mid right can be seen the main entrance with its swipe card security gates.
