Art Noveau light fixture and clock at old entrance to Seattle's Harborview hospital

I thought this clock at Seattle's Harborview Hospital was pretty nice.

Once past the clock and some ornate moulding, the halls continue in that clinical and blank squared-off style that screams "hospital". I bet architects have a term for it. "medicoindustrial futurist"?

I suspect the light fixture above the clock is a later addition (I might guess that it's Art Deco and the moulding is Art Noveau, but I'm a bit too ignorant on the subject to really say so with any confidence --should I reference "There's Something About Mary?"). it seemed worthy of a quick pic.
