@gilleanmcd@lynndawardle5@spacesandplaces@HesterParr @CherylMcGeachan I just wanted to highlight the difference approaches to the entrance situation btw old and new gart. Coming into the entrance room/vestibule or to a “hub” w reception desk, cafe and people passing by (of course people passed by in the old days too)
@gilleanmcd@lynndawardle5@spacesandplaces@HesterParr @CherylMcGeachan When they were taken there and came inside after ringing the bell what did they meet? An empty (I would imagine) entrance hall with wide dark wooden doors and panels. I could also imagine the loss of direction while waiting for someone, and not knowing what to expect.
