Work has been completed on a £1 million upgrade of a Barry business centre.
UK Government funding was spent on refurbishing the Engine Room hub, which forms part of the Innovation Quarter on the town's waterfront.
Vale of Glamorgan Council says it now includes 11 high-quality units aimed at the meeting the needs of a growing local business community.
They've been fitted out with enhanced facilities to help promote collaboration, flexibility and greener ways of working.
The main entrance has also been redesigned while the public car park has been extended and resurfaced, along with communal spaces to accommodate bike parking and seating.
Council leader Lis Burnett said: "I’m delighted to see the Engine Room be transformed into a modern multipurpose space where businesses can grow, connect, and collaborate."
“This state-of-the-art business centre is one that continues to support innovation, encourages inward investment, and drives economic growth in the Vale."
“With environmentally friendly features like the new living wall and a greener heating system, the space reflects our Project Zero commitments as a council to become carbon neutral by 2030.”
Work on the refurbishment project took around six months to complete, carried out by local contractors Kingfisher and funded through the UK Government's Shared Prosperity Fund.
The council says the Engine Room forms part of a wider regeneration initiative, being developed in partnership with the Welsh Government.
It was previously used as an IT skills centre before being repurposed by the council a decade ago.
A council spokesperson said: "This latest transformation ensures it is ready to meet that demand and provides an environment where local businesses can grow and succeed."
Since reopening the Engine Room as a business hub, the Innovation Quarter has seen the Pumphouse transformed into retail units, along with the opening of the West Quay Medical Centre, a hotel and restaurant and the development of the Goodsheds.
Two years ago, Welsh medium primary school Ysgol Sant Baruc moved to its new purpose-built home on the Waterfront.
And in March this year, Cardiff and Vale College confirmed work would begin this summer on a new community campus, which will replace its current site on Colcot Road, as part of a £119 million investment in the Vale.
