Foster + Partners scheme built by ISG
BBC Cymru Wales has started to move 1,000 production and support staff into its new 280,000ft虏 Foster + Partners-designed headquarters in Cardiff.
Morgan Sindall鈥檚 fit-out arm Overbury has been carrying out work at the building along with architect Sheppard Robson鈥檚 interiors arm ID:SR.
Located opposite the Welsh capital鈥檚 main railway station, the building was part of a Foster + Partners鈥� masterplan unveiled in 2014, featuring a new central square featuring more than one million ft虏 of office, retail and residential space.
The new building has been built by ISG.
The first phase of the 18 month fit-out was completed in January this year with phase two work finishing off broadcasting studios, M&E and additional workspace.
Project teams worked with predominantly local suppliers and materials, and the building achieved a BREEAM Outstanding rating.
Sheppard Robson said 95% of all waste generated by the fit-out exercise was recycled.
The exposed nature of the building鈥檚 interior floors 鈥� animated by colour 鈥減ixel鈥� blocks 鈥� allows visitors and members of the public to witness content being created as they watch from a large ground-level atrium.
