Olympic village construction
The construction of London Olympic Village began in 2008, which lasted for four years and cost 970 million pounds. The construction of the whole project adopts the concept of sustainable development, including the selection of building materials, energy utilization and waste disposal. The accommodation building of the Olympic Village is made of wood, glass and steel structure, and the exterior wall is painted with environmental protection paint, and the roof is equipped with solar panels and green roofs, which can provide some energy for the accommodation building and reduce the heat island effect. The garbage disposal center of the Olympic Village adopts advanced technology to classify garbage into recyclable and non-recyclable categories. Recyclable garbage will be recycled, non-recyclable garbage will be burned, and the generated heat energy will be used for heating and power generation.
Facilities in the Olympic Village
In addition to the accommodation building, the London Olympic Village is also equipped with various sports and entertainment facilities, including basketball courts, tennis courts, swimming pools, gyms and cinemas. The Olympic Village also has a medical center, a supermarket, a restaurant and a coffee shop to provide all-round services for athletes and officials.
Operation of the Olympic Village
The operation period of London Olympic Village is from July 16 to September 12, with 58 days. During this period, the Olympic Village will become the home of athletes and officials from all over the world, providing various services and support. In order to ensure the smooth operation, the Olympic Village will be equipped with a professional management team to be responsible for accommodation, catering and security management.
The future of the Olympic village
The construction and operation of London Olympic Village is an important urban renewal project, which will bring new development opportunities to Stratford District. Upon completion, the Olympic Village will be transformed into a modern community, providing various housing and community service facilities. The concept of sustainable development of the Olympic Village will become an important reference for future urban renewal.
