The London 2012 Olympics are only 3 years away and construction started on the Olympic village and all of the facilities even before the Olympics in Beijing had finished but are we on track to meet the targets for its completion?

Beijing set a high standard last year after producing some spectacular buildings to house to games, including the ‘cube’ for the swimming and the ‘Bird’s Nest’ for all the track and field events. We are all hoping that London is going to be even more amazing but will it all be finished in time?

The Olympic committee have already claimed that the London 2012 games will be the ‘greenest’ games ever. The Olympic village is located in Lower Lea Valley in East London. The project is twice the size of Heathrow’s Terminal Five and it is hoped it will be delivered in half of the time.

So far the buildings that are underway are the Aquatics Centre, Olympic Village and VeloPark. Construction will continue to accelerate over the next year or so when they will start to construct the last of the ‘big five’ venues which will include the International Broadcast Centre which will stream the games live across the world.
