A two-day workshop aimed at saving the historic but decrepit City Hall concluded yesterday with optimism and the expectation that a plan would be available by the end of June from overseas experts.
The event was launched on Wednesday and featured presentations from Francis Maude, the Specialist Conservation Architect, and Ed Morton, whose speciality is structural engineering.
Head of the Guyana National Trust, Nirvana Persaud had explained at the launching of the workshop that the project will focus on preparing a comprehensive restoration and sustainable conservation management plan for City Hall, as well as the City’s Engineer’s Building. It is their hope that the plan will guide the building’s refurbishment and its long-term preservation.
