Atrium-GTASA-exterior

The building housing the Atrium interior (left), and the adjoining glass-clad building based on the Bonaventure Hotel, GTA San Andreas.

The Atrium (or Attrium) is a location in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, located in eastern Commerce, Los Santos, used in the "Just Business" mission. Although little is known about this interior, it has several stories and has a statue depicting a man touching himself inappropriately. Some statues facing the one touching himself have their hands over their eyes. There is a body armor in this building and several unusable lifts.


Pickups

Glitches

  • Leaving the building through one of the doors (only one works) then entering it backwards with a pistol aimed forwards will enable the player to "ghost" through the door and into the actual interior, rather than the separate one. The floor here is, aside from a small square by the door, not solid, and the player can fall through it, entering Blue Hell.
  • Similarly, if the player enters the building and then leaves doing the same thing, they will go back outside to Los Santos, however the game will detect that the player is still inside, and thus, no vehicles will be loaded and the entire San Andreas apart from the area immediately surrounding the building will become invisible (although still solid). All pickups, collectibles etc. will still be there and, by going back into the Atrium and out again, or any other interior for that matter, the glitch be eliminated.
  • When the player enters through the northern door, the in-game text says that the building is called the Atrium. When they enter from the west, it says Attrium, which likely is a text error.
  • The Atrium is one of the few buildings in all of San Andreas in which you can look through the windows from the inside and see the outside. However, to accomplish this, game designers needed to make a seperate interior in the Interiors Universe that consisted of the interior of the Atrium and a small copy of the area surrounding the building. This small area consists of a few buildings, some streets, and other objects which are a certain distance away from the building. So, when the player looks outside through the glass, he can see these buildings and objects, making it feel like he is on the ground, when in reality, he is in an interior. This area can be accessed by executing the glitches mentioned above.
