Bute Building

The Bute Building is a historic neoclassical structure located in Cathays Park, Cardiff, Wales, serving as a prominent part of Cardiff University. Designed by architects Percy Thomas and Ivor Jones, it opened in 1916 and features six impressive Roman Doric columns. As a Grade II listed building, it houses the Welsh School of Architecture and the School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies. Notably, it contains the UK's largest Sky Dome, an innovative facility for daylight modelling and sun-path studies, making it a fascinating site for both tourists and researchers interested in architecture and education.
