Maintenance Of An Iconic Building
Project: Maintenance of Wales Millennium Centre
Location: Cardiff Bay, Wales
Many people will have seen and admired the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. Designed by architect Jonathan Adam to be iconic and express “Welshness” the vast majority of the material used was from Wales. Opened in Nov 2004, with a three-day ceremony creatively directed by Bryn Terfel, the now nearly 18-year-old building requires some care and maintenance to ensure its iconic status. It has been a privilege for us to undertake some of this work on the week of the Queens Platinum Jubilee, an iconic event. While the area we worked on may not be visible to the public it is still built from robust Welsh materials and contains the offices and the access bays that enable the building to operate successfully.
