The City of York Council has approved a revised design for the new Central Hall at the National Railway Museum (NRM) in York. The changes aim to prevent the building from overheating. Revisions include reducing glazing in the Museum Square building's rooflight and different cladding on the outside. The alterations also lower the height of the building, reducing its visual impact. The new building will house an exhibition on technology and the future of railways. Construction was initially set to be completed by 2025, with a revised opening date yet to be confirmed. The changes include making the building's oculus rooflight smaller and higher, and changing the brickwork on the front of the café. Copper cladding on the Central Hall building will be narrower than originally planned.
