Cardiff University’s JOMEC’s new multi-million pound home has been revealed

It’s part of the central square regeneration scheme in Cardiff city centre


Cardiff University’s School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies will be moving from the Bute Building to a new facility at the Central Square regeneration scheme in the centre of Cardiff.

The school will join law firm Hugh James in the facility, who will also occupy the 135,000 sq ft office block, with JOMEC occupying just under a third of the building.

JOMEC are expected to make the move in September 2018.

The school currently has strong ties to BBC Cymru, with the move to the town centre set to strengthen relations between the school and Welsh branch of the BBC.

With regards to working with the BBC, Professor Allan has stated that “will make this a centre of excellence that will be genuinely world-class.”

It will include:

-300 seat lecture theatre

-Six newsrooms

-Dedicated editing suites.

-TV and radio studios

-Postgraduate research space.

-Library and innovation and stakeholder engagement lab.
