From the outside, the most striking feature is the
detailed stone relief by Russian-born sculptor Michael
Schilkin. It depicts merchants and the activities of
commerce – reflecting the building’s role since it was
first constructed.
The restoration of the building in 2020 saw
its most important public spaces returned
to their former glory, while other areas were
adapted to meet the needs of the new business
school. More than 500 Tynell lamps were
preserved in place, meticulously cleaned and
polished to look as resplendent as the day
they were first installed.
