The various building sections have been revealed anew by removing later additions and non-functioning elements. The production halls and assembly floors have been retained in the condition in which they were left. When renewing the layout, the openness of the factory complex has been retained as much as possible. The systems have been kept in view and have been partly reused. Where possible, the complex has been made more sustainable: insulating monumental glass has been installed and the roofs have been insulated. A number of strategic architectural interventions have rendered the complex suitable for its new purpose: a new entrance for the University of the Arts with a large folding door in the centre of the complex, a new central staircase to the educational areas on the first floor and steel lobbies at the catering entrances. By reopening old passageways and windows, views to other sections of the complex and the Vaartsche Rijn canal have been opened up. To the south west side of the complex, new apertures in the façade and a patio on the water have been created for the restaurants.
