This text is about adapting an old barn to a new use without destroying the old structure. They put in an "Einschubkörper" -- I do not know what that is, can anyone help?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, K. Isaac, That looks pery plausible! The whole text is very short, and about this subject there is only one sentence, so I cannot give more context. But I have seen it -- they made the entrance area inside the old barn into a hall with a staircase and elevator, and it´s all in that box they put in.
