The A building :

The administrative quarter, entrance hall, information hallway, meeting rooms, exhibition rooms, directors room, even the gardian apartments are located in this early 20th century bldg.
A brick and stone construction, most of the floors are demolished and will be replaced by colaborated iron and concrete floor. A few 20th century irons beams are being saved from dismentalement. Today construction regulation requires that a public space has to support 900 lbs per meter-square , while 20 years ago the same administration required 300 lbs per meter-square. Humans have gotten really fat indeed !

The A building main bldg connects to the garden court, two floors up.
Today the right wing is the main entrance. This ground floor, facing the boulevard, connects to the lower galery where all three amphitheatre's entrances can be accessed as well as the main two stairs.
