Those attending the installation in this prominent local structure will also have an opportunity to enjoy the Sony Pictures Plaza Atrium Museum space.

The award-winning granite building, designed by architects Maxwell Starkman Associates to cater to movie industry needs, was completed in 1986 as the Filmland Corporate Center. That year, tours were given to locals who learned the granite came from Finland and Spain, then transported to Italy where it was laser-cut.

It offered 308,000 square footage of rental space, and the 90 foot high atrium was topped by 10,000 square feet of glass. And automated window-washing equipment was designed to clean that glass.

This prominent structure became the home to MGM-UA for a short time, until the studio moved out of Culver City in 1992. Since that time, it has been on a long-term lease to Sony Pictures Entertainment.
