Designed by Vincent Harris OBE (1876–1971) and Thomas Anderson Moodie (1874–1948), who won the design competition for the building. It was opened in 1912 and served as Glamorgan County Hall until it was acquired by the university in 1997. Outside the building are two groups of statues by Albert H. Hodge (1875-1918), one representing navigation and the other coal mining, on either side of the entrance, indicating the county's sources of wealth.
