IN my opinion...
As a nod to the original and for the sake of sentimentality, I am surprised the architect didn't tweak the Blast Wall with a minor detail that would have brought a sense of continuity and familiarity into the lobby, thereby tying the future with the past.
See below what I would have liked to see. I left half undone, to show the before.
