Materials Tour of the Olympic Park

September 29, 2009, 3:10pm to 5:30pm

The Olympic Park

Register for a unique trip around the Olympic Park with Dan Epstein, Head of Sustainability and Regeneration. This tour will have particular focus on the sustainable approach taken to materials used on the site...

On the tour you will see the progress being made on site; the external structure of the Stadium is now complete, the Aquatics Centre roof is over halfway finished and the foundations of the Velodrome are taking shape. This event is designed to compliment the Materials Behind Sustainability day but is open to everyone on a first come first served basis.

This event has now finished.
