March 2008 - A better use of space

The original:

The brief:
Another photograph from my Oslo trip. This is the main entrance to the university, built - as you can see - in the Classical Overbearing style. There's an awful lot of enclosed space behind those massive columns, housing just a grand staircase. Which may have been fine in those days, but I'm sure the university is now running short of space, along with every other seat of learning in the world.

So can we collectively come up with a better use for that void? It's a tricky angle, looking up at it from below; but some kind of architect's rendering of how the finished building might look would be good.

Finished work:
