Plans for Olympic Basketball Arena submitted
The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) has submitted detailed plans to build the Basketball Arena for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The 12,000-seat stadium will be one of the largest temporary venues built for any Games, and will be located in the northern part of the Olympic Park in Greenwich, east London. The stadium, which will be relocated after the Games, will host handball and Olympic and Paralympic basketball as well as wheelchair rugby.
The design team consists of engineer Sinclair Knight Merz, planning specialist Nussli International, architect Wilkinson Eyre and KSS Design Group. If the application is approved, construction is expected to begin late 2009. The venue is due to be completed in 2011. The ODA anticipate that the detailed designs will be revealed in the next couple of months.
