结构加固和屋面整修一般都是在改造过程中进行的。由于展览的要求，一些过多的窗口被封锁，同时保留窗口的凹痕以显示历史。所有的悬挂天花板都被拆除，以暴露薄屋顶结构，并为展览提供合适的空间。旧建筑的斑驳皮也被保留了下来。只有最高的建筑被深灰色延伸的铝网包裹，这带来了一个模糊的图像，融合了现代和传统的特征。

Structure reinforcement and roof refurbishment are generally taken in the reconstruction. Some of excessive windows are blocked due to the requirement of exhibition while keeping the dents of window to indicate the history. All suspended ceilings are removed to expose the slim roof structure and provide suitable spaces for exhibition. Mottled skins of the old buildings have been kept as well. Only the tallest building is enwrapped with dark grey stretched aluminum mesh, which brings an obscure image mixed with modern and traditional features.
