New Webcams Give Front-Row View Of Olympic Village Construction
.gif)
New 'webcams' have been launched giving the public a front-row view of the construction of the Olympic Village.
The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and Lend Lease have also released new images showing the first residential buildings in the Village starting to rise out of the ground.
The three Olympic Village cameras will show updated images throughout the day and will be accessible via the London 2012 website.
The Olympic Village, which lies adjacent to the Olympic Park and Stratford City sites, will accommodate athletes during the Olympic and Paralympic Games and will leave the legacy of thousands of new homes, parks, public squares and community facilities after 2012.
ODA Chairman John Armitt said: "The Olympic Village will be one of the strongest legacies from the Games, creating quality new homes for Londoners together with new parks, public squares and community facilities. As construction work accelerates on the Village site, these new webcams will keep the public up to speed on the progress we are making in the delivery of this essential project."
The Olympic Village will comprise 11 residential blocks, which are each roughly the same size as a football pitch. Each residential block is then made up of approximately 5-7 buildings which are built in a square layout around a traditional courtyard area. The courtyard areas in the middle of each block will include gardens and open space.
