Crown Building, Cathays Park

The Crown Building ( _cy. Adeilad y Goron) aka Cathays Park Building, is a head office complex for the Welsh Assembly Government. It was the former home of the Welsh Office and is situated in Cathays Park, Cardiff. The complex consists of two buildings, Cathays Park 1 (Grade 2 listed building) and Cathays Park 2, joined by two sky bridges.

Cathays Park 1 (aka CP1 or old Crown Building) is the older building and contains offices for the First Minister for Wales and ministerial team. The building mainly houses Senior Civil Servants and the Legal Services Department.

Cathays Park 2 (aka CP2 or new Crown Building) is a large modern concrete building built as an extension to Cathays Park 1. The main public entrance to the office complex is located in this building just behind CP1. The building features an extensive underground car park and a large central atrium housing a cafe for the office staff.
