Bute Building
The Bute Building is a Cardiff University building in Cathays Park, Cardiff, Wales. It houses the Welsh School of Architecture and the Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
The neoclassical building was designed by architects Percy Thomas and Ivor Jones, who won a competition in 1911 to design a building for Cardiff Technical College.[2] The foundations of the building were laid in 1913 and the building opened in 1916.[3][4] The building has six Roman Doric columns in the front of the building and includes the Birt Acres Lecture Theatre[5][6]
The UK's largest Sky Dome, an artificial sky 8 metres in diameter run by the School of Architecture and used for daylight modelling and sun-path studies, is located in the basement of the building.[7]
