In Brief
Cardiff’s brand new UK Government Hub, Ty William Morgan House in Cardiff is 270,000 sq.ft. It is home to 3,600 civil servants from several UK Government departments and agencies. It is one of 16 UK Government hubs being created across the UK. The Government Hubs programme is helping to enhance regional career paths, boost jobs and economic growth, while providing great places to work. The idea behind this modern building is to bring disparate teams together to transform working practices, foster collaboration and streamline work processes to boost efficiency and effectiveness.
ISG chose Smartcomm as the specialist contractor on this project. Much thought was put into the technology, to allow the various areas to be used in a variety of ways. The workspaces needed to allow flexible usage – to maximise return on investment and allow each department the resource they need, as and when they need it. The office includes hybrid and divisible meeting spaces, designed with flexible layouts and AV to match requirements and the various room configurations. It includes designated rooms of national importance with specific needs requiring robust, bespoke solutions. Future proofing, sustainability and inclusivity were key components. While the Pandemic brought some challenges, the project was completed on time and within budget.
