I have great pleasure in commending the work of Stephen Hill, Holder Mathias Architects, specifically regarding the design of the new campus building for the Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries, University of Glamorgan.

The iconic design has presented a national focus for the creative industries in Wales and has brought a national profile to the new Faculty. Our recruitment of undergraduate students has increased by 65%, well above the UK national average for this subject area. The novel design of the building has revolutionised the teaching approaches and emphasised the vocational nature of the subjects combining music, performing arts, media and visual arts.

I have no hesitation in recommending Holder Mathias Architects for any future projects.
