A Műszaki Mechanika és Mezőgazdasági Géplaboratórium épülete - The Building of the Applied and Agricultural Mechanics Laboratory Gy. Balogh Ágnes
Remodelling and conversion in 1951 and 1952 affected the Department of Bridge Construction. This time the firstfloor corridor was released to have smaller rooms and the water block. In 1956 the designs for the reconstruction of the facades and elevations were finished. Concepts included the demolition and re-walling of the brick balustrades as well as bullet-dents repairs. The damaged stone, ceramic and brick details in need of repair were marked one by one in the reconstruction plans just like the wall section that had collapsed during the war. After this the facade was restored to its original condition and form. In 1958 a manual hoist was installed in the Department of Textile Technology. Reconstructions in 1960 affected the Department of Applied Mechanics. In 1961 a survey (scale 1:50) was made of the building the southern wing of which was used by the Department of Agricultural Mechanics at that time. In the reconstructed part an auditorium, xerox room, research and implement room, material depot, a workshop and official quarters were housed, whilst the extension built in 1938 functioned as an engine-hall. The mill room had a staircase in the middle leading to the cellar and the upper floors. Next to it there was the workshop, at its western end a stairhall, whilst upstairs a laboratory. The former collection room in the eastern corner of the northern wing had previously been divided into a library and staff-rooms. The four storeys of the tower contained lecturer's rooms and a drawing room. In 1962 the Department of Bridge Construction No. 2 was rebuilt on the southern side of the waterfront wing. In the 1960s the extension of the laboratory of the same department was included in the plans, by building a free-standing cubic structure next to the middle of the northern wing. A further remodelling of the Department of Applied Mechanics was approved in May 1967. The glass wall of the entrance was transferred and in the storeroom No. VIII a gallery level was built by integrating some partitions and steel beams. In August 1969 the rebuilding of the Laboratory of the Department of Building Materials and Reinforced Concrete Structures was given the green light. Minor interior conversions (demolitions, walling up openings) affected now the entrance hall which had already been split up into smaller spaces as well as the cementing room (the southern part of the quay wing). The spiral staircase was also demolished this time here. The partition walls of the former pulsator room in the northern-wing stone cutter and thus thoroughfare to the mill building ceased to exist.
