Today, the building is owned by Liverpool City Council and is home to numerous public and private sector organisations, including The British Music Experience.

[5] In 1934 the Cunard Steamship Company merged with the White Star Line to form Cunard White Star Line, becoming the largest passenger steamship company in the world and helping to make Liverpool one of the most important centres of the British trans-Atlantic ocean liner industry.

[11] The plan involved collaboration with English Heritage and the Local Authority Conservation Officer and would be used to control any modification and repairs made to the building.

[12] In October 2013, Liverpool City Council approved the acquisition of the Cunard Building for use as offices and as a cruise liner terminal.

Each entrance consists or a large panelled oak door, adorned by a pair of fluted columns and with a coffered ceiling.

[15] Several highly detailed sculptures adorn the outside of the building, including ones of Britannia and Neptune, as well as others representing peace, war, and storms.

[7] Another series of sculptures on the building depict different races from around the world, which reflect the global operations of the Cunard company.

[5] Marble was used to furnish several parts of the inside of the building, particularly on the ground floor corridors that link the north and south entrances.

[2] Among the most notable features of the Cunard Building are the large basement and sub-basement levels that initially acted as storage facilities for both the company's property and also the luggage of passengers.

Coal was also stored in the basement, with a small railway track providing a link to the boiler room, which was used to heat the building.

Many original features of the basement still exist, including the timber baggage racks, ship logs and other maritime documents.

[15] A Grade II listed monument, it was designed by Arthur Davis, who acted as consultant during the construction of the Cunard Building itself.

[16] The monument consists of a large bronze statue that sits upon a Doric style column, which is itself raised above the ground by a pedestal base.
