I didn't see any designated picnic locations per se outside, e.g., picnic tables. Being in the middle of the city, the land surrounding the building is mostly concrete and parking lot - but there is a lawn and some greenery and there are some benches here and there where you could sit and eat. A previous poster mentioned a small cafe - but I will add that it was small, and when I was there in June 2018, there were signs posted everywhere stating that the tables and chairs were for patrons of the cafe only.
