The east facade of the complex retains the walls of the terrace and front entrance of the transformer station built in 1904. The area where the transformers resided is now the Grand Hall convention halls.
At the main entrance is a water feature called 'The Teslatron' with a transformer like fixture. At street level there is a fountain that varies its height with the wind so as not to wet pedestrians and passing cars.
