Clark Maxwell's contribution to modern science cannot be overstated and his lab original design, here under threat, was a groundbreaking departure whose integrity MUST be respected

The epoch-making discoveries made here are widely acknowledged as part Maxwell's legacy, in addition to his own immense contributions. make this a uniquely iconic site.

Maxwell's birthplace in Edinburgh and his home in Galloway were both long neglected but are now being protected and restored. Please see sense and respect his legacy in your own establishment. Would this be considered if the lab were Newton's or Einstein's. Maxwell deserves no less respect.

I feel the use of the word "vital" on the side of the proposed works betrays a bias towards the work and I'd say instead it is VITAL that Maxwell's legacy be respected.
