This iconic laboratory - whose first director and co-designer was James Clerk Maxwell, one of the greatest (and most under-celebrated) geniuses in the history of science - is important to science lovers throughout the world. I would like to see it as a museum celebrating the Laboratory's incredible achievements, but the proposed development would impact not only the front facade but also the original layout and design of what is one of the first purpose-built academic laboratories in the world. Also, perhaps the exterior of the "plain" back wall can be used for an additional display celebrating the Laboratory's proud and colourful history.
