Work will now begin on the external cladding of the structurally completed buildings, with work inside the buildings due to start later in 2010. Construction work is also well underway on the remaining eight residential plots with more than 2,800 people now working on the Village site.
Olympic Delivery Authority Chief Executive David Higgins said: ‘The sheer scale of the Olympic Village development means this will become one of the busiest parts of our construction programme in 2010 and the completion of a further two residential plots keeps us firmly on track.’
The 11 residential plots in the Olympic Village are each made up of six to eight buildings, each built in a rectangular layout around a traditional courtyard area.
