What was the London 2012 Lessons Learned Series?

UK-GBC was 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.

Our London 2012 Sustainability Lessons Learned series consisted of two streams of events running in tandem - Breakfast Sessions on venues and Masterclasses on sustainability issues.
