The Alembic Industrial Heritage and Re-development: Vadodra, India

The Alembic Industrial Heritage and Re-development project is a 92-acre industrial campus in the center of Vadodara, Gujarat, India. The campus was established in 1907. The project includes: 

• Alembic Museum

• Art studios

• Exhibition and display space

The Alembic factory is located in the middle of the city and along the main railway line. The project is an example of adaptive reuse, which involves using existing buildings to promote sustainable environments. Adaptive reuse also helps to preserve cultural identity by giving heritage buildings new life. 

Similar to many old factory buildings, the building got altered over time due to change in the original purpose of the facility. Starting from manufacturing penicillin to alcohol. The space within is meant to serve the Alembic Museum, art studios, display and exhibition space with ancillary spaces for a library, AV room, and a café.
