Daniel Gayne writes in Building:
The first images of the restored Art Deco control room at Battersea Power Station have been released, ahead of its opening to the public.
Control Room A will function as an event space within the Grade II* listed building, offering visitors a look back in time at the power station’s original control room, as well as a panoramic view of Turbine Hall A….
Control Room A remained in use until 1975, when the 1930s half of the building, which includes Turbine Hall A, closed down.
Battersea Power Station was fully decommissioned in 1983 and the building lay idle for decades. Since 2012, a multi-billion-pound mixed-use development of building and the surrounding area has been under way, with the first residents moving in last year.
As IHBC marks a quarter of a century since our incorporation as a professional body supporting and accrediting built and historic environment conservation specialists send us your ideas on how to mark this special
year!
