111 Huntington Avenue (sometimes given the unofficial nickname "The
R2-D2 Building") is one of
The tower's busy footprint rises and culminates in a frame dome and crown which is illuminated at night.
The building has two main stairways at its core along with two freight elevators. Both cover all floors including the basement parking garage area, where there are two additional levels called P1 and P2.
The main lobby space of 111 Huntington Avenue can be accessed easily from the Prudential retail mall. The lobby interior consists of reflective black marble walls with finished wood paneling. Upon entering the lobby, the entrance features a black marble wall with the three numbers 111 in a silver color suspended half way up the wall. Water runs down the wall from ceiling all the way down to the floor in a cascading effect over the three numbers. Directly behind the cascading waterfall are a series of elevator bays.
Of the total number of passenger elevators, four travel between the 2nd-9th floors, six travel to the 10th-22nd floors, and another six travel between the 23rd-35th floors. Beside the main lobby the tower also has two elevators which serve the two sub-levels of the parking garage. The elevators in the tower are each outfitted with two small flat screen televisions that show daily news and trivia from the Captivate Network.
