The lobby, also known as Art@Work, has shown many established and local up-and-coming artists' works, in addition to hosting quarter exhibitions for over a decade.

Mosquera and his wife have been collecting Latin American and Cuban art for over 20 years, giving patients plenty to chew over between visits.
