Willis Towers Watson

Visited this building during a heritage weekend. It is a fascinating building with history. During this weekend you have access to the roof and can see all over Ipswich. They also have a cafe open during the weekend.

Lovely building to see especially the former swimming pool which is now the IT department.

Nice place

Interesting building design and internal decor, grade 2 listed I believe!

Worked there for some time, its an insurance company with very large building in the area. Setup and ambiance from inside is like a big ship/yacht including floors, tiles and toilets. you will feel that you will be inside a big ship. Bonus is large cafeteria on the top floor its like a restaurant, we have attended couple of parties over the few occasions. Nice place to work with nice peoples. cool work environment!!

Wow and eye opener for one of the youngest listed buildings I know of on the Heritage weekend itinerary. I’d loved to have worked here in the early days when companies valued their staff

I can still remember the first time I saw the Willis Towers Watson, so impressive a sight are its modernist lines. It's regarded as the centrepiece building of Ipswich & the town's central landmark, & rightly so. The architecture of the Willis Towers Watson have aged well externally, a mid-70's construction still looking so futuristic, it would not look out of place on the set of Bladerunner. It's quite pathetic how all the buildings to have arisen since in Ipswich, are traditional red-brick & breezeblock. Many of them attempt at expressing the town's nautical character by having curved rooflines, but look through the glass ofthe Willis Towers Watson, & its alike the boiler room look on a big ship, if not a spaceship! However, the interior has not fared nearly so well, especially the lurid colour combination of Lego bricks yellow & green. The primary & secondary colour scheme not only looks like it was chosen by a child, but is the kit colours for Norwich City FC; Ipswich Town's long-term bitter rivals, hence only 4*

Great architecture glass building. Well worth looking inside, unfortunately open to public only at Haritage days
