Facing heat from employees, Churchgate to lose glass facade

Curbing to mounting pressure from WR employees who claim the glass panels hamper ventilation and entry of light into their offices, the administration has decided to replace them with tilting panes

Nearly two years ago, the iconic Churchgate railway station building, a towering seven-storey structure, received a swanky new exterior, its façade being draped in glass panels. While those who pass through its portals in course of their commutes lauded the makeover, there was one group that vociferously protested against the costly renovation — heat-stricken WR employees who work in the offices that the building encloses and the glass façade stifles.


Greenhouse effect? It has been reported earlier that ever since the draping of the building was completed, employees have been fuming, as they have had to sweat it out in their glass house. Pic/Bipin Kokate
