2. Readapting the Small Cinema Room for the purposes of musical and theatrical events; repurposing the adjacent room to serve as backstage and wardrobe, enhancing the comfort and visibility in the auditorium by increasing the slope of the floor.
3. Readapting two utility rooms for the purpose of a new Educational Room and a Department of Cultural Heritage Management: renovating the adjacent spaces - passageways, sanitation, changing room, gymnasium; opening the passageways on the 2nd floor enabling the communication between the left and right wings of the building.
4. Installing a new door lock system in the building, e. g. a magnetic card door lock.
The project also covers obligatory ‘soft’ measure.
