Challenges The project was not without its challenges as it commenced and was completed during the pandemic. This presented

two major challenges - the health and welfare of employees directly and indirectly and also the procurement of the required materials and equipment. To ensure completion of the spectacular accommodation ahead of student occupation for the new semester, our team of experts worked late nights to complete the student complex on time and to the highest standards. Commenting on the project, Operations Director, Richard Gilmour said: “We were delighted to provide MEP services for LIV Student which was a fantastic project from start to finish. LIV Student supports Ulster University Belfast Campus which Michael Nugent Ltd has recently completed MEP services for with Phase 2 Block BD and Block BB.” He added: “It is a privilege to have been part of the prestigious project in the heart of Belfast. Huge congratulations to all involved.”
