Design and details of London Aquatics Centre The transformation project for the London Aquatics Centre from the Olympic mode to its present legacy mode was carried out as part of a larger £292m ($481m) project being implemented in phases to transform the Olympic Park into a new public park. A further £5m ($8m) was provided by Sport England, which enabled the transformation of the venue into a public space. Up to £34m ($56m) was provided by Sport England through the National Lottery funding. The building was constructed with an investment of £225m ($371m approximately). "The building was completed in July 2011, in time for the games." The preconstruction works included the demolition of 11 industrial buildings and use of 140,000t of soil sourced from outside the project site. A former life as an Olympic swimming centreĬonstruction works on the London Aquatic Centre began in July 2008 and the building was completed in July 2011, in time for the games. The building now provides a total seating capacity of 2,500, which is expandable to 3,500 by adding temporary seats. The building is now fitted with glass on both sides, the area where the two seating stands were located. GLL, a charitable social enterprise, operates the building on behalf of London Legacy Development Corporation.
