Abstract
The machine laboratory building was erected in 1905-1907, as the last element of the complex of the former School of Building Crafts in Ołbin in Wrocław. The building was quite badly damaged during World War II. In the 1960s, the preserved remains of the building were, quite provisionally, rebuilt and adapted to a precision mechanics workshop for the Wrocław University of Technology. At the beginning of the 21st century revitalization activities were started to transform the historic complex into a modern educational campus. The building of the former machine laboratory was designed for reconstruction and adaptation into the library of the Faculty of Architecture at the Wroclaw University of Technology. The project was preceded by historical research and analysis. The works were conducted in the years 2014-2017.
