Main Convent, Ipoh .. Undergoing Construction / Renovation .. Isn't the Convent a Heritage Building

The back portion of the Main Convent. A wall demarcating the area of works. 

This is the Main Convent, Ipoh (SMK Convent Ipoh ) undergoing construction or a renovation.  It is always sad to see the old building undergoing works as these are the links to how Ipoh grew to what it is today.  

It is taking place at the the back portion of the Convent building and only from the inside of the Convent. A wall has been erected demarcating the area of works hence it won’t be visible from outside the Convent.

There is no sign of change to the front of the Convent where all looks normal.

It is very surprising as this is a Heritage Building built in 1907 before St Michaels School. Understand there are guidelines if Heritage buildings undergo any changes.

..a video ..shows a portion of the building has been torn down 

..all looks normal from the front ....

Will await the school authorities to shed information on this development.
