Varming Project Focus – UCD Belfield Campus
Over the years, the Varming Consulting Engineers team has been involved with many projects in Ireland that we’re extremely proud of. One such project saw our M & E Consulting Engineers working on a building with international significance, the University College Dublin Confucius Centre. We were tasked with providing mechanical and electrical building design services for the three-storey cultural institute that was created to foster greater cultural relations between Ireland and China.
Project Details

- A Campus-linked Building Management System
