This 1907 building was completely overhauled and extended in 2007. The new conference facility was straightforward, but the Edwardian Theatre and the Royal Hall were very elaborately designed and had hundreds of intricate mouldings that had to be picked out in contrasting colours. They also had fantastic domes in the ceilings with very fine relief work.
Because of the sheer amount of detailing and number of different colours on the mouldings, Magill worked out a meticulous painting schedule to avoid wet edges.
Magill employees were working at heights of up to 14 metres at times with sloping floors in the theatre so specialised scaffolding made work even more complex.
Most of Magill employees had never been involved in a project requiring such constant attention to detail and fine handiwork before but they all took huge pride in their work and did an absolutely fantastic job.
