The Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff was designed in phase one by Jonathan Adams of the Percy Thomas Partnership, and in phase two by Tim Green and Keith Vince of Capita Percy Thomas. The text also says Zaha Hadid won the design competition, which conflicts with the infobox. Phase one opened on November 26 to 28, 2004, after a February 2002 start. Phase two opened on January 31, 2009.

The article calls the design contemporary. It is clad in multicolored Welsh slate with a stainless steel dome, with native hardwoods inside. The infobox gives 2,000 tonnes of recycled slate, while the text says 1,350. It has six floors and 400,000 square feet (37,000 square meters), and the Donald Gordon Theatre seats about 1,897.

Phase one cost 106.2 million pounds and phase two about 18 million. The Bocs immersive space opened in 2022 and the Cabaret venue in 2023. The article gives no hours or ticket prices.
