The Welsh Assembly Government Office Llandudno Junction is located in Sarn Mynach, Llandudno Junction, Conwy County Borough, North Wales.
The building is the North Wales regional office for the Welsh Assembly Government, and was officially opened on 23 September 2010 by the First Minister of Wales, the Rt. Hon. Carwyn Jones AM.
Departments in the Llandudno Junction office include Business, Enterprise, Technology and Science, Education and Skills, Health, Social Services and Children, Local Government and Communities and Sustainable Futures.
The building provides not only a base for Welsh Assembly staff but also for public access, and the office has been designed to include a dedicated space, Y Bont, for people to call in and visit.
Y Bont gives people a chance to share their thoughts, and gives the government a chance to get closer to the people, providing a bilingual information and publications centre, exhibition space, free internet access and a café.
The North Wales Welsh Assembly Government regional office is built on a brown field site, namely the old Hotpoint Factory, and has been awarded a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating, with a score of 75.8%, reflecting the wide range of sustainable solutions used to reduce the building’s carbon emissions.
The building in Llandudno Junction is the Greenest building in the Welsh Government’s estate. The design of the building incorporates materials that have a strong association with North Wales, including slate from Penrhyn Quarry in Bethesda.
In 2010, the 20th of May, the first minister buried a time capsual in the reception area of the new office, the contents inside the time capsual were chosen by local schools including Ysgol Y Creuddyn, Ysgol Aberconwy and many others. The schools worked over a year on this project, and the time capsual will be unearthed in 2060.
