Yesterday, the famed recording venue was designated an "historic site" by the British government.
Excerpt:
Culture Minister Margaret Hodge declared the iconic venue a Grade II listed building -- the second-highest category -- on the advice of national preservation body English Heritage.
In a statement she said the listing had been granted "overwhelmingly on the historic merit of the studios" and because of its "huge cultural importance."
The new status means that although changes to its interior can be made, any proposed alterations must respect the character and preservation of the site.
