Redwood Building

The Redwood Building is a university structure along King Edward VII Avenue at Cardiff University featuring a rectangular three-story form with modernist design. Inside, the space offers multiple learning areas with movable furniture, and outside there are twenty-two bicycle parking spaces for users.

The structure was built in 1960 for the Welsh College of Advanced Technology and later became part of Cardiff University through institutional mergers. This transition transformed it into a center for advanced learning within Wales' higher education system.

The building displays a large relief sculpture by Edward Bainbridge Copnall depicting a robed figure that represents the protection of knowledge across disciplines. This artwork in the entrance area reflects the institution's commitment to advancing learning in science and healthcare.

The building is accessible during academic hours and contains spaces that adapt to different learning styles. Visitors can use the bicycle parking outside, which makes moving around the campus easier.

The building is named after the Redwood family from Boverton, particularly honoring Theophilus Redwood who founded the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. This connection to pharmaceutical education shapes the academic mission of the location.
