Proposals for the reuse of this Grade II Listed building were a high priority due to its vacant and Listed status. As the future flagship space for the Creative Quarter, part of the basement has been opened up by a staircase well, which connects to the upper floors. The crypts in the extensive basement have been turned

into individual pods and studios with social meeting spaces, and the mezzanine level has been extended with access via a grand central atrium, showcasing the original painted glass windows and decorative ceiling.
