What is the London 2012 Lessons Learned Series?

UK-GBC has been chosen to support the Olympic Delivery Authority's (ODA) Learning Legacy programme on the topic of sustainability. The Learning Legacy project is the first time intellectual capital of this scale has been captured by any previous Olympic Games or UK construction project.

UK-GBC will disseminate the London 2012 sustainability lessons learned through a series of events for the construction and property industry. We will be holding a variety of events as part of this series including high profile events at The Building Centre which include panel ‘breakfast sessions’ and technical ‘Masterclasses’, in addition to events at Ecobuild 2012.

By inviting those directly involved in delivering the London 2012 project to share their leadership and practical experiences at these events, UK-GBC aims to capture and disseminate a strategic and detailed account of the successes, challenges and innovative solutions in planning, designing, constructing and staging the ‘Greenest Games’ ever.

Building a Sustainable London 2012

The venues and infrastructure needed for the London 2012 Games and legacy were built by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and have all reached ambitious sustainability targets. It is therefore an exemplary project that provides sustainability thought leadership on both small and large scale projects.

Download the Olympic Park Factsheet (on right column here) for more information on all the ways that London 2012 is the most sustainable Games yet.

We invite you to attend our Lessons Learned events to hear first-hand how these architects, designers, engineers, etc. did it!
