Basketball Arena
Key Details
Overview
Construction on the Basketball Arena began in 2009, and it will be one of the largest-ever temporary venues built for any Games.
During the Games
During the Olympic Games there will be a period of just 22 hours to transform the venue from the Basketball competition to the Handball competition finals. This will include removing the Basketball posts and installing the Handball goals and field of play mat.
Afterwards, during the Paralympic Games, there will be just 12 hours to get ready for Wheelchair Rugby after the Wheelchair Basketball competition finishes, with similar changes needed.
The venue’s ‘back of house’ area will be shared with the Velodrome and BMX Track to make most efficient use of space and resources. This will include two courts in temporary accommodation and areas for catering, security, waste management and the media.
After the Games
The Basketball Arena will be taken down after the Games. Parts of it are expected to be reused or relocated elsewhere in the UK.
