BBC Cymru Wales New Broadcasting House[9] (Welsh: Tŷ Darlledu Newydd BBC Cymru Wales), previously known as the BBC Cymru Wales headquarters building, is the headquarters of BBC Cymru Wales in Central Square, Cardiff. It operates many of its broadcasting services (radio and TV) from there using IP-based studios.[10][11] It also serves as a base for S4C.[12]
The £120 million building replaced the BBC Cymru Wales Broadcasting House in Llandaff,[7] when 1,000 production and support staff began moving into the new facility in October 2019.[12] The building is officially located at 3 Central Square, but has also been referred to as BBC New Broadcasting House.[13]
