Marine industry: Beaufort Building is set to deliver on Ireland’s potential

“Excellence in science and in its exploitation for the benefit of society requires excellent infrastructure,” said UCC President Dr Michael Murphy, at the recent opening of the €15m Beaufort Building in Ireland’s maritime quarter.

The 4,700sq m five-storey building with innovative wave simulators, test tanks, workshops and offices provides Ireland with world-class infrastructure for renewable energy and maritime research to power the ‘blue economy’.
