London Basketball Arena - Olympic Games 2012

Where is it?

The Basketball Arena will be located in the northern part of the Olympic Park.

Getting ready

The Arena will be the largest temporary venue built for any Games.

Scottish company, Barr Construction has been appointed to build the main structure. The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) will award separate contracts for other elements of the venue’s construction, such as the mechanical and electrical work, seating and foundations.

During the Games

The Arena will have 12,000 seats for the Basketball preliminaries and quarter-finals, as well as Handball semi-finals and finals, and 10,000 seats for Wheelchair Basketball and Wheelchair Rugby.
After the Games

As the venue is temporary, there is no requirement for the Basketball Arena after the Games. The contractor will therefore own the Basketball Arena structure, and the ODA will 'rent' it from them for the duration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Afterwards, the contractor will dismantle it and remove it from site.
