The 4,700m\u00b2 building, which was constructed by JJ Rhatigan &amp; Company, will house the largest dedicated team of marine research globally. Speaking at the opening ceremony, An Taoiseach said:\u00a0 \u201cMarine research and development is a part of this Government\u2019s plan to rebuild a sustainable enterprise-based economy. Our seas will increasingly support more jobs, enterprise and research. The UCC Beaufort Building, while firmly rooted on dry land, is a vessel of scientific discovery for our seas. Its world-class facilities will attract world-class researchers and new entrepreneurial endeavours in the maritime and energy sectors. The spirit of collaboration between academia, private enterprise and the Irish Naval Service in Irish maritime research is a model for public-private partnerships not only in Ireland, but globally.\u201d<br \/>\nProfesssor Conch\u00far \u00d3 Br\u00e1daigh, Director of MaREI, said the centre will cater for 135 researchers, industry partners and support staff, dedicated to solving the challenges related to marine renewable energy, the multi-disciplinary centre has already secured \u20ac30 million in funding through Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and contracts with industry partners comprising of multinationals and SMEs.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/UCC-Design-Team.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6603 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/UCC-Design-Team-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"UCC Design Team\" width=\"198\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a>Led by UCC Capital Projects Officer Niall McAuliffe, the project employed more than 200 people on site. The Beaufort Building was conceived, designed and constructed to the highest quality sustainable standards, consistent with the function of the building as a world class centre for maritime and energy research. \u00a0Designed to resemble a naturally eroded cliff face with incredible sea views, the building, on Cork Harbour, makes an L-shaped form with a tall research block and entrance stacked to the sea and a large tank hall with testing facilities behind it. JJ Rhatigan &amp; Company worked in collaboration with UCC,\u00a0McCullough Mulvin, ARUP, JJ Casey and RPS to deliver this world-class facility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Taoiseach Enda Kenny T.D. opened UCC Beaufort Maritime and Energy Research Laboratory Building in Cork at the weekend.
