After a lively, 90 - year long history seeing a variety of uses and numerous conversions, in the spring of 2018 the reception area of the now listed building underwent a redesign and expansion: following plans by Barkow Leibinger, a generous new box office has been created on the site of the former “Universum Lounge”. The ticket booth that previously occupied the foyer has been opened up bringing a bar to the reception area.
