Tŷ William Morgan
Tŷ William Morgan (Welsh for William Morgan House) is a UK Government building and hub in the centre of the city of Cardiff, Wales. It primarily serves as a base for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and houses the Cardiff office of the Secretary of State for Wales and the Wales Office.
It also houses staff from other UK Government Departments including the Cabinet Office, Department for Business and Trade, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Ofgem, Valuation Office Agency and the UK Space Agency.
The building, at 6 Central Square, Cardiff, was part of the redevelopment of Central Square, which included a new BBC Cymru Wales headquarters, a Transport Interchange and other office development. The building was designed by the architectural firm Gensler Work started on 6 Central Square in late 2017, with the 265,000 ft2 (24,600 m2) building already pre-let to HMRC. The building was planned primarily as a new base for HMRC's staff who had previously been located in Llanishen, Cardiff. It was also claimed to be part of a government strategy to increase UK government jobs in cities outside of London. There would be 12 other HMRC regional centres across England and Scotland. 6 Central Square would also be home to other government agencies and be capable of hosting full UK government cabinet meetings.
There are 13 UK Government departments based in Tŷ William Morgan. The majority of the 4,500 civil servants based there are HMRC staff.
The building was topped out in September 2018 and the keys were officially handed over, for fitting out to be completed, in January 2020.
The building was formally opened at a ceremony with Secretary of State for Wales David TC Davies on 5 December 2022.
In October 2019 it was announced the name of the new building would be Tŷ William Morgan – William Morgan House, named after Bishop William Morgan (1545–1604), translator of the Bible into Welsh. Secretary of State for Wales, Alun Cairns described it as fitting to name the building "after a figure whose pioneering translation of the Bible was instrumental in the survival and growth of the Welsh language and in the development of our unique culture".
Early in 2021 a large sign, reading UK Government and Llywodraeth y DU was applied to the façade of Tŷ William Morgan. It was later discovered this branding was only being applied to the regional centres in Cardiff and Edinburgh (Scotland).
