William Morgan House, Government office building in Central Square, Cardiff, Wales
William Morgan House is a 12-story office building at Central Square housing several UK government departments in a modern glass structure. The building was completed in 2020 and serves as a major administrative center for the Welsh capital.
Construction began in 2017 as part of Cardiff's modern development, with the building opening in 2020 to consolidate government operations. This project represented a significant investment in the city's administrative infrastructure.
The building honors Bishop William Morgan, who translated the Bible into Welsh in 1588, linking this modern office to an important figure in Welsh cultural history. The name reflects the nation's connection to its linguistic heritage.
The building sits prominently at Central Square and is easily walkable from the city center with good public transport links nearby. Keep in mind this is an active government workplace, so public access to the interior may be limited or restricted.
The building contains specially designed spaces to host full UK Cabinet meetings when needed. This capability highlights its importance as a key center for national government operations.
