A brief extract from drone footage of ongoing construction works for the SKA Global Headquarters, taken on September 8, 2017. Located at the iconic Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, UK, the SKA Global Headquarters will be the home of the SKA Observatory, the intergovernmental organisation set up to build and operate the Square Kilometre Array, the world’s largest radio telescope. Equipped with a 10Gbit/s connection to the national research network, the 4,200m2 SKA HQ will include some 18 meeting rooms equipped with state-of-the-art videoconferencing to work with teams spread over 20 time zones, as well as a Council Chamber which can be converted into a 159-seat auditorium for scientific conferences and public talks - thanks to funding from the Science and Technology Facilities Council, The University of Manchester and Cheshire East Council.
