The maps below show the changes in the art gallery ground floor in 2015 and present day.

C1: The map delineates the modifications of the art gallery between 2005 and now.

Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that there are some principle
alterations to the left side of the gallery.

Originally, the gallery was designed merely for its exhibition purpose and visitors could
enter the hall through the entrance in the south of the building. Inside the hall, there was a
reception desk to welcome visitors, which led to a staircase in the north end. The
remaining part simply consisted of functional areas with a set of 3 exhibition rooms on
the eastern wing, one large exhibition space together with an office taking up the entire
southwestern corner, and a café in the northwest.

At present, the location has become modernized and versatile, providing more facilities
for visitors, especially with the addition of a wheelchair slope right outside the entrance to
the west and a lift next to the stairs. To the west, exhibition room 4 was converted into a
children’s indoor playground and one smaller room for temporary display, while a gallery
shop and a vending machine were opened in place of the original gallery office and the
cafe. The final alteration that happened was the relocation of the reception towards the
entrance of the gallery.

The floor plans illustrate the differences in the layout of an art gallery ground floor
between 2015 and the current layout. Overall, it can be seen that there have been a lot of
changes to the interior design of the ground floor with the replacement of Exhibition room
4 being the most significant change.

On the left-hand side of the ground floor, there used to be Exhibition Room 4, but it has
been removed to make room for the construction of a new temporary exhibition room and
children’s play area in the bottom-left corner. A gallery, whose original space is now used
for a vending machine, has been relocated to occupy the space of the cafe on the top-left
side.

A set of stairs in the middle at the top and three exhibition rooms on the right-hand side of
the plan still remain the same, with a new lift being added next to Exhibition Room 3 on
the left. There was an entrance hall in the center of the floor and a receptionist in front of
the set of stairs. While there has been no change ro the entrance hall, the receptionist has
been moved beside the temporary exhibition room on the right.

The maps illustrate the layout of an art gallery and how it has changed from 2005 to
now.

Overall, the building has undergone several changes internally, with the addition of


several new rooms and facilities, and access for the disabled. 
In 2005, the gallery contained four exhibition rooms, a gallery office, and a cafe.
Exhibition rooms 1, 2, and 3 have remained unchanged, however Exhibition room 4 has
now been split into a children’s area, and a temporary exhibition room. The gallery office
previously located behind Exhibition room 4 has now been removed and the space
opened up to become a part of the entrance hall area.

Previously, a cafe was located to the left of the stairs, but has now been replaced with a
gallery shop, however the space is much smaller now. A new vending machine facility
has been placed outside the gallery shop where the gallery office used to be. The
reception desk has been moved closer to the front of the entrance hall, and
new disabled access facilities have been added, including a wheelchair ramp at the front
of the building and a lift located next to the stairs.

The maps depict modifications to the ground floor of an unspecified art gallery
from 2015 to the present day. Overall, the ground floor underwent a complete
transformation with various facilities being relocated, replaced or added.

Between 2015 and the present day, the reception desk was relocated to a
position where it is closer to the entrance. The hall was further expanded
to the right-hand side of the ground floor, taking up the space where there
once was a gallery office. There is now a lift adjacent to the former stairs, and
the café on the top left corner of the ground floor was converted into a gallery
shop with a vending machine located just outside.

Another major change to the area was the re-arrangement of the exhibition
rooms. The exhibition room #4 on the left-hand side of the room was divided
into a temporary one and an area for children, while the three exhibition rooms
on the right-hand side remain unchanged. The final change made to the
layout of the ground floor is the additional ramp for wheelchairs, which makes
the gallery become more accessible to the disabled.

The two maps illustrate how the layout of the ground floor of an unspecified art
gallery has changed from 2005 to the present day.

Overall, it is clear that provision for facilities and services had increased, and
some areas in the art gallery had been remodeled for other intentions.
One key change between 2015 and the present day is the displacement of the
receptionist area which was moved to the center of the entrance hall. The old
cafe was taken place by a smaller gallery shop which made room for the addition
of a lift adjacent to the former stairs. Additionally, below the gallery shop, which
was previously the gallery office, has been renovated into a vending machine
providing refreshments for visitors.

In terms of the exhibition rooms, despite no differences in the right side of the art
gallery ground floor where three exhibition rooms 1, 2 and 3 located, the
exhibition room 4 on the left side was separated into a temporary exhibition and a
children’s area.

C6:

The maps illustrate the differences in the layout of an art gallery


in 2005 and now.
Overall, the art gallery has been improved with the installation
of a number of services and facilities, with some areas of the
gallery converted for other purposes.
As can be seen from the map, the cafe in the rear-left corner of
the gallery has been replaced by a gallery shop. The space for
the gallery shop is smaller than the space of the old café, which
allowed for a new lift to be constructed next to the stairwell.
Meanwhile, the gallery office next to the café has been removed
and made way for the installation of a new vending machine.
Furthermore, the reception desk has been moved to the center of
the entrance hall, and a wheelchair access ramp added to the
main entrance.
Regarding the exhibition areas, the space for exhibition room 4
has now been divided into two new areas; one for temporary
exhibitions and the other for children. However, no changes
have occurred to Exhibition rooms 1-3.
