Aquatics Centre, Olympic Park

Venue

Aquatics Centre, Olympic Park, Stratford


"A key aim of London 2012 was to deliver the greenest and most sustainable Olympics ever produced."

Brief

Design and build four washroom structures to be sited underneath the two seating wings of the Aquatics Centre. These structures will be open to the elements and require meeting full building regulations, despite the need to remove each washroom post games as part of the legacy plans. The internal fit out had to be durable and effectively laid out to accommodate the large number of users at any one time between events. Working with the Achitects, Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), the construction had to be considerate in its choice of materials, designs and its delivery.
