BBC Wales headquarters building

The BBC Wales headquarters is a broadcasting center in central Cardiff featuring five floors with a full-height atrium connecting all spaces. The building houses studios for recording, administrative offices, and production facilities, along with a ground-floor café and rooftop dining area for visitors and staff.

Construction began in 2015 on the site of the former Cardiff Central bus station and the building opened in 2019. This new facility replaced a major transportation hub with a contemporary broadcasting production center.

The building serves as a workplace for people who create television and radio programs for two different networks that serve Wales and surrounding areas. Visitors can observe how these professionals collaborate in contemporary spaces to produce content that reaches large audiences daily.

The building sits directly across from Cardiff Central Station, making it easy to reach on foot. The site is open to the public and offers a café where visitors can spend time while observing the modern facilities on display.

The studios feature robotic cameras that are controlled remotely, allowing complex shots to be filmed without needing a large camera crew. This technology reduces both time and costs during daily television production work.
