A coloured glass fanlight in the large
concourse hall was blocked with corrugated
galvanized sheets with a ticket counter in
front of it. The insensitive additions were
removed and entire arch was opened up.
The coloured glass fanlight was restored
whereas the ticket counter was reduced in
height and mass. This has improved the
visibility of the historic fanlight from the
ticket counter and improved on the
readability of the architectural features on
the building.
The ventilation in the large halls and
concourse areas is done using energy saving
industrial ceiling fans. Such techniques have
helped in reducing the carbon emissions
from the site. The double height spaces are
now fitted with high-efficiency LED high-bay
light fixtures that use innovative chip on
board technology to ensure effective
thermal management. These interventions
improve the visual aesthetics of the building
and enhance the appreciation of the site
thus making the historic building more
resilient.
