The design preserves the original white face-brick walls, roof structure, and heritage ribbon windows while introducing bold primary colours to add scale and eccentricity. These colours define various spaces, reflecting the experimental nature of the former science laboratory. This transformation accommodates diverse activities, including visual arts, reading areas, workspaces, exhibition spaces, and a small café and retail shop. The Leisure Laboratory aims to reignite the spirit of culture and leisure back into the city, with a vibrant revival that resonates with the site’s storied past.
