SKA (Square Kilometre Array) Headquarters was designed to become a nexus of radio astronomy and a global hub for astrophysics in the 21st century. Already home to staff from 16 countries who are focused on delivering the final design of the two SKA telescopes, this project includes complex research and monitoring spaces, providing SKA with a base from which it can link with its international partners, host international council meetings and science conferences. Sitting in the shadow of the Grade I listed Lovell Telescope, the building takes inspiration from the radio waves that are at the heart of the SKA’s work.
