purchase orderswas also highlighted as a possible problem for the Olympic Park, but did not expect this to

cause any "undue delay to construction schedules".

[edit]Naming

The IOC has a number of majorblue-chipsponsors for the Olympics, who are entitled to have their nameexclusively associated with the event. As a consequence, any other company that provides sponsorship is not

permitted to use its name or branding during the games, which includes as part of the name of any venue. As a

consequence of this, three Olympic venues are temporarily renamed for the duration of the Games:

The O2 Arena North Greenwich Arena

Sports Direct Arena St James' Park

The Ricoh Arena City of Coventry Stadium

TheOlympic Village, with accommodation for all athletes and team off icials (some 17,320 beds in total).

After the games the village will become a district of theStratford Citydevelopment, a multi-billion pound

development project on the former railway goods yard to the east of the Olympic Park. (Accredited

technical officials referees, umpires, etc. are housed in hotel space inLondon Docklands).

The Olympic Press and Broadcast Centres.

The original plan called for the construction of five new indoor arenas, four in the Olympic Park, and one in the

River Zone (see below). In order to save money this was reduced to two. The existing venues at Earls Court

and Wembley Arena were added to the plans, and various sports were shuffled around to make this possible.

The construction of the Olympic Park itself commenced in 2006, with Murphy Group awarded the contract to

remove the powerlines which crossed the site and relocate these into a tunnel to be dug beneath the site. Civil

engineeringcompanies Morrisons and Nuttalls were appointed to undertake the demolition and land

remediation works, under the project management ofWS Atkins. The pace of this speeded up with the closure

of the roads crossing the Olympic Park in June 2007. The construction phase of the Olympic Park is being

managed by CLM, a consortium comprisingCH2M Hill,Laing O'RourkeandMace. This consortium is officially

titled Delivery Partner, ODA. The earliest construction of venues commenced in April 2008 with the start of the

main build on the Olympic Stadium byMcAlpine, with the nearby energy centre to be constructed byEDF

Energy. Work on the Aquatics Centre began later the same year. During the construction phase the workforce

on-site is expected to peak at 9,000 operatives.

In the initial plan for the River Zone, a temporary 6,000 seat capacity facility to be called North Greenwich

Arena 2 was to have been built alongside the O2 to host thebadmintonandrhythmic gymnasticsevents.

However, the cost led to alternatives being suggested, eventually leading to the cancellation of the arena and

the transfer of its planned events toWembley Arenainstead.[15]

[edit]The Olympic and Paralympic village

Main article:East Village, Stratford

The village has 17,320 beds and provide each athlete with 16 square metres (170 sq ft) floor space.

There are 3,300 apartments

Each apartment has a TV, internet access, and a private courtyard.

The dining hall caters for 5,500 athletes at a time.

Difficulties experienced by developersLend Lease[34]

in raising funds for the village (the single largest project in

the 2012 scheme) resulted in the scale of the village being reduced by almost 25%.[35]

This was achieved

predominantly by providing accommodation for London-based athletes only. Those competing in events

outside London were to be housed elsewhere. Following the athletes' experiences in Beijing 2008 (and in

particular through comments concerning athletes' welfare by International Olympic Committee

PresidentJacques Rogge) this compromise was to be reconsidered whilst pressure built for the finance deal to

be resolved.[36]

TheOlympic Javelinservice

Stratford station

Public transport, an aspect of the bid which scored poorly in the IOC's initial evaluation, has seen numerous

improvements, including the expansion of theEast London Line, upgrades to theDocklands Light Railwayand

theNorth London Line, and the new "Olympic Javelin" service. It is almost impossible to assess how many of

the proposed improvements would have happened in any case. The games were won without a commitment to

deliverCrossrailby 2012. This is the largest transport project proposed for London, and it was widely assumed

in the early stages of the bidding process that the games could not be won without a guarantee that it would be

completed before the games.

During the games, 80% of athletes are within 20 minutes of their events and 97% are within 30 minutes of their

events. Together, all the plannedNational Rail, light rail, and underground services (excluding Crossrail) are

expected to deliver around 240 trains every hour.[37]

[edit]Further details

93% of training venues are to be within 30 minutes of the athletes' village.

The aim is for 90% of venues to be served by three or more forms of public transport.

There are two majorpark and ridesites off theM25with a combined capacity of 12,000 cars, within 25

minutes of the Olympic Park.

There are 9,000 planned park and ride spaces to be made available at Ebbsfleet where spectators can

board a 10-minute javelin service to the Olympic Park. This is the same station where continental

spectators traveling by Eurostar join theOlympic Javelinto the Olympic Park.

It is predicted that on event days 78% of spectators are likely to travel from within London and 22% from

the rest of the UK and Europe.

Organisers estimated that 80% of visitors and staff of the Games would use rail services to reach the

Olympic Park.

Low or no-emission vehicles are used to transport Olympic athletes and officials.

[edit]Changes to the original bid

Regent's Parkwas planned to host thesoftballandbaseballevents, but the IOC chose not to run those events.

Windsor ParkinBelfast,Northern Ireland, was included as a football venue in the IOC questionnaire submitted

in 2004, but excluded in the final candidature file.

On 7 June 2006, a revised masterplan for the Olympic Park was announced. The most significant change was

the relocation of thevolleyballevents from a new Olympic Arena to the existing venue ofEarls Court, which is

several miles to the west. The revision also involved the re-organisation of the park shuffling

theBasketball,Cycling,Fencing,TennisandField hockeyvenues in addition to the Press and Broadcast

Centre. This move was designed to remove the need for the relocation of 80 businesses and to provide a more

coherent legacy for the sporting venues.

Another change was the relocation of thebadmintonandrhythmic gymnasticsevents toWembley Arenain

north-west London, instead of a proposed new venue nearThe O2 ArenainNorth Greenwich.[citation needed]

Two venues to be developed outside central London have been also relocated from the original bid sites.

TheBroxbourne canoe venuewas marginally re-sited following the discovery (in October 2007) that the

proposed Spitalbrook site was contaminated,[38]while in February 2008 theWeald Country Parkwas deemed

insufficiently challenging for elite mountain biking. It was announced in August 2008 that the revised venue

would be atHadleigh Farm, also in Essex.

In August 2009,Villa Parkwas withdrawn from the list of venues for the football competition, due to uncertainty

overAston Villa's redevelopment plans for the stadium, and was replaced byRicoh ArenainCoventry.[39]
