The redevelopment of the works took account of the listed building status of the original core infrastructure.
One building currently houses the Swindon Steam Railway Museum, dedicated to the works and the GWR.
The engineers' office is now the headquarters of English Heritage, with most of the remaining buildings redeveloped as part of the Designer Outlet Village.
The rest of the site's extensive railway yard was redeveloped on a mixed-use basis, some for housing and some for commercial buildings including purpose-built storage for the English Heritage Archive and the National Trust's central office building known as Heelis.
