From January to July, this series will explore a comprehensive range of
sustainability themes and strategies using the London 2012 construction project
as a platform for discussion and learning.
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!
