The temporary London 2012 venue at the famous Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, which will stage the Shooting, Paralympic Shooting and Paralympic Archery competitions is one of the last remaining new arenas to be built for the Games.
Construction progresses on the temporary london 2012 venue at the Royal Artillery Barracks.
The competitions will be hosted across three indoor ranges and three open air ranges. Construction is on track to be completed in December, ahead of international shooting test events next spring.
All three indoor ranges are now structurally complete using around 1,200 tonnes of steel and clad in plywood. Work will start shortly on building the open air ranges at the southwest London site. The spectator seating enclosure for the indoor ranges are also in place, with the finals enclosure on schedule to be finished by November 2011.
The enclosures, which are rented and can be reused after the Games, are being clad in around 18,000sqm of pvc membrane that gives the structures their unique appearance. The Vibrantly coloured openings that help break-up the white facades create the tension, in addition to providing natural ventilation and light.
ODA Chairman John Armitt said: ‘The Shooting Venue will be one of the ODA’s last sporting arenas to complete and the progress made to date is impressive given the scale of the ranges and enclosures. The innovative design contrasts excellently to the historic setting of the Royal Artillery Barracks that spectators will see as they enter the venue.’
