What is the old Terminal 1 currently being used for?

I used to really like that terminal when I was a child. Lovely, pre WWII facade, roof gardens from where one could view the apron and peer down into the main check-in hall and shiny well kept floors.

It's been a long time since I have taken the Star Gate entrance to the airport and have no idea what has become of this terminal. Lot's of fond memories of it though.
