Reprovisioning of Government Stores, North Point
93. The original scheme to construct a two-storey extension to the furniture workshop and a block of four floors of stores with a fifth floor of offices above was abandoned after working drawings had been completed.
94. Revised plans for a ten-storey building were prepared and building work started in March. The ground floor is to be open storage, the first and second floors furniture workshops, the third to seventh floors stores, the eighth floor air-conditioned offices and the ninth floor canteen and plant rooms. The total floor area is 117,000 square feet. Also included in the scheme is a separate dangerous goods store and a salt water flushing and fire-fighting system to serve the whole of the Stores compound. The Medical Stores will be air-conditioned to prevent the deterioration of drugs.
