The Lobby Area & The Surround

6,400 square foot lobby area, the perfect spot for a cordial reception or seated meal. The sleek design makes for a perfect backdrop for an elegant dinner or cocktail reception. The Institute features dynamic programming through the Chamber Surround exhibit area: an interactive, multi-media space representing the history, role, leaders, and significant accomplishments of the U.S. Senate. As visitors move through the space, they engage with expansive, high-resolution media in which the story of the Senate is presented in a series of distinct exhibit areas, with content updated through real-time data streams.
