Stanton Williams' Olympic Park scheme completes
The Olympic Park’s Eton Manor complex designed by Stanton Williams has been completed. The venue will be used during the Paralympic Games to host the wheelchair tennis competition. Seb Coe, chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Locog), said: “With just 200 days to go to the opening ceremony on 29 August, we’re in great shape for what should be a spectacular summer of Paralympic sport. “Wheelchair Tennis has proved to be one of our most popular tickets, and the venue at Eton Manor will be a fantastic setting to showcase some truly world-class athletes.” Paralympic athletes will compete for six medals in wheelchair tennis at the Paralympic Games. During the Olympic Games the venue will provide temporary aquatic training facilities including three Olympic-size swimming pools, a synchronised swimming pool and a water polo pool. |
