PROJECT DESCRIPTION

We have provided Civil / Structural Engineering services to the RCSI for every alteration or refurbishment to their historic 250 year building for the past 30 years. The main body of the RCSI complex off St Stephens Green is approximately 250 years old, but each generation has added their stamp onto the building through alterations and extensions. The key strength of JBB is in first understanding each of these elements before providing advice on how the alterations or refurbishments can proceed. RCSI have continuously turned to JBB to consult and design any element or changes to their central building due to our constant high level of service, knowledge and dedication.
