Spaces at IFBE

The Substation

The gateway to IFBE

Abutting Calicut Street, the old substation has been faithfully and innovatively restored and now forms a visual gateway to the central courtyard and The Cathedral beyond.

The gable roof not only allows diffused light to filter into this space but also reveals views of the landmark chimney.

The Substation, the gateway to IFBE, is perfect for smaller displays or to introduce a larger exhibition being held inside.

Giant cooling coils, once used to manufacture ice, are preserved under the glass, giving the space a museum-like quality.

The first of IFBE’s diverse exhibition spaces, the Substation is defined by its lineal space, red brick walls and charming Mangalore-tiled gable roof.
