Material ingenuity continues inside with a large elliptical wall that curves through all four floors uniting new and old construction, becoming a strong internal and external geometric wayfinding device. The wall is highlighted with stock aluminum panels typically used for 18-wheel cattle transport trucks that are grouped diagonally together with indirect lighting.

The "cattle panels" as well as the use of stone illustrate Holzman Moss Architecture's resourcefulness in using regional connections to create a design that honors its community.
