The Architecture and Design of Huron

Concrete on the walls of the staircases leading up to the arches is molded into a irregular vertical ridged pattern. Vertical design is found in the wood paneling in Meyers auditorium as well. The vertical ridges in this case make the staircase feel taller and larger than it is. Since there are not many windows in these staircases, the illusion of a larger space helps to make the staircase more spacious.
