Harland & Wolff Drawing Office

It’s easy to imagine busy architects hunched over long drawing tables as they worked tirelessly on plans for the famous Titanic and its sister ship, the Olympic at Belfast’s Harland & Wolff Drawing Office. This three-story structure, built in the early 1900s, is home to open office spaces with a distinctly cathedral-like vibe. The vaulted ceilings and wide-open windows fill the rooms that once housed some 30,000 employees with plenty of natural light. While this headquarters office of Harland & Wolff remained open until 1989, it eventually closed for business. But today, travelers can still step back in time on a tour of the Titanic drawing offices.
