This was closed in 1868. Adaptive reuse project starts in the year 2001 to transform the place into a new cultural hub and a museum. This was the best example of practicing adaptive reuse principles. The old function of the building and new function of the building was very different.in the old time, it was acting as a railway workshop. But now it was a cultural hub. They preserve the blacksmith shop and weighbridge for interpreting the history of the building. And transform the old stone building to an art gallery, exhibition space, and a visitor’s area. Adaptive reuse tries to signage industrial background with the new building and old structure. As an example yellow walk away, new entrance of the building. The geothermal system was introduced to the building to get an international standard. (Double glazing facade). It was able to maintain a suitable environment inside the museum. This was won royal institutes of architect’s award for a best adaptive reuse.in the year 2002.
