Convert to art

Article Abstract:

Architect firm Levitt Bernstein has converted a school in Birmingham, UK, into a building to house the Ikon Gallery. The Gothic-styled school was originally built in 1877, offering scope for conversion into a gallery. A glass tower was built onto the building providing light and a lift shaft. The addition of a basement provided extra space for storage and workshops. Restaurant and shop facilities are located on the ground floor while the art galleries are located on the top floor.
