As a heritage project, a critical intricacy of this work involved the numbering of each brick of one exterior original wall prior to dismantling. The interior work included building a barrier free access, expanding the square footage to adapt the extension of the elevator shaft to the public viewing area, and building a new elevator shaft. The final stage was the reassembling of the heritage stonework to its original positioning.
