One of the red brick buildings is now being considered for transformation into a cultural centre with a unique, round, performance space capable of accommodating around 2,000 people standing, with superb acoustics. A restaurant, kitchen and audience and artist facilities will be constructed, but the great hall will remain untouched. Apart from the removal of the large gas container inside the building, there will be minimal remodelling of the historic structure, with the brick walls and narrow windows preserved in their original state. Under the building, where the earth previously served as a seal to prevent the gas leaking, a basement will be created to form facilities for the audience and performers.
