PAGE 5Temporary vs legacy

• Quick response and turnaround for assembling and dismantling ( ex: Use of Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre in Sydney)

• Temporary overlay is the software working with the legacy (hardware).

• Very low capital expenditure requirements if hired

• No post events maintenance required ( ex: Dining Room used for the Olympic village in Sydney)

  • Flexibility in its use and impact on the environment ( ex: Equestrian centre in Athens delayed due to major archaeological discovery on site)  • Customising the needs of the event ( ex: Medal Plaza in Salt Lake City)

• Less constraints in the temporary regulations versus the building regulations ( ex: width of temporary seats platform of 80-85 cm in permanent facilities against width as low as 60 cm in temporary grandstands thus increasing the seating capacity on the same surface area by more than 25%) 

• Extra source of revenue ( ex: Temporary seats are directly linked to the income stream from ticketing: Sponsor and Prestige villages at the World Cup of Soccer launch, Opening ceremony in Salt Lake City)
