Olympic Delivery Authority Chairman John Armitt said: ‘The Basketball Arena and Handball Arena are two very different structures – one large and temporary; the other compact and permanent. Their contrasting designs and the progress we have made on their construction reflect the first-class abilities of the construction teams working on the site.
‘Both also highlight our approach to legacy – only building permanent structures which can serve communities post 2012. The temporary Basketball Arena will be taken down and used again elsewhere while the Handball Arena is a permanent useable space which can accommodate an array of activities both during and after the Games.’
