| ODA negotiates with Team McAlpine on Olympic Stadium The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is to enter negotiations with the Team McAlpine Consortium with a view to appointing them in the New Year to design and construct the Stadium for the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. The consortium is led by building contractors Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd and also includes renowned sports and design architecture team HOK Sport, and international engineering teams Buro Happold and M-E Engineering Inc. The brief for the Stadium is to create a spectacular 80,000 seat Stadium to host track and field events and the opening and closing ceremonies for the Games. After the Games it will reduce in size but retain the capacity to host a variety of sporting, cultural and community events. In parallel with commercial negotiations, design proposals for the Stadium will be developed by Team McAlpine and will be unveiled in the New Year. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
