London Aquatics Centre

The stadium in Animal Olympics appears grand to say the very least, as it sits in the background behind the reels. You can’t help but appreciate what the developers have done here, as it represents something of a design spectacle.

When Australia won the bid for the Olympics, the total estimated cost for Sydney to host the Games was $3 billion.

Another issue was the construction of a gigantic aquatic centre, which complete with an Olympic sized pool, stadium seating, gymnasium, offices and extra classrooms that will loom up to four storeys behind adjoining properties. Ashfield council argued that the school’s existing site was already causing traffic problems for neighbouring streets. Additionally, council contended that the construction might cause another impacts such as inconvenience, noise and loss of amenity of residents.

John Torys executive committee hasn't determined the exact cost or details, but are recommending 2.4 million for initial consulting and designing work in 2017

Another aspect Germany excelled at was the amount of effort that went into the construction of buildings for the Berlin Olympics. Germany spent thirty million dollars erecting buildings for the 1936 Games. Athletic buildings created for the games were four stadiums, a twenty thousand seat swimming facility, a polo field, and gymnasium, and basketball courts (Associated 152, 155). The main stadium held one hundred thousand spectators, and there were one hundred fifty other buildings constructed for these Olympics (Trueman 2). The Olympic Village fabricated in Berlin was

The initial scope was to include football, rugby, and athletics in the same stadium. This later became very controversial and resulted in the removal of athletics from the design in 1999, because of the technical and commercial challenges of accommodating three sports within the same stadium. In 2001, the scope was further changed with the removal of a hotel from the project, the expansion of hospitality suites, and considerably changes to the north side of the stadium. These changes took Mott MacDonald an additional 8 months to redesign.

The Bolton Construction Company is preparing a bid to build the new 56,000 seat Commonwealth Stadium in Toronto. The construction must start September 4, 2014 and be completed in time for the 2017 Commonwealth Games. The contract contains a penalty clause of $100,000.00 per day of delay beyond June 1st, 2017.

The Olympic Games is one of the biggest and most unrivaled sporting events in the entire world. At first it may seem like a huge plus or advantage for a city or nation to host this event. However on the contrary there are a lot of negative aspects that occur when a nation hosts this event. While the event is taking place, from the outside it looks like a state of the art, prestigious event that it is. Some of the problems that are caused by hosting Olympic games deal with, stadium development, local resident life, security issues, and many others that will be discussed. One of the big problems when dealing with a mega event such as the Olympic Games is the stadiums, which get built, and how they get abandoned or not used after the games are finished. This is one of the major problems surrounding the Athens 2004 games. Many of the stadiums and infrastructure are left untouched and abandoned to this day.

America is in the midst of a sports construction boom. New sports facilities costing at least $200 million each have been completed or are under way in Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Nashville, San Francisco, St. Louis, Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C., and are in the planning stages in Boston, Dallas, Minneapolis, New York, and Pittsburgh. Major stadium renovations have been undertaken in Jacksonville and Oakland. Industry experts estimate that more than $7 billion will be spent on new facilities for professional sports teams before 2006.

Since the early stages, the project was inundated with concerns and issues with the project scope. From the perspective of project management, the initial scope was not defined well enough. Details of the design were over looked and aspects such as the details of the air conditioning ended up increasing the original scope by $200 million. This supposedly led a prosperous project to an uncertain economic ordeal. Initial estimates of the project had been $5.5 billion and by the time of its actual completion it been delayed by a year and increased to $15

The Colosseum was the largest amphitheater of the time period. It was a huge elliptical structure consisting of four stories, over 150 feet high. It measured 620 X 513 feet. The enclosed oval arena measure 287 feet long X 180 feet wide.

3). Airport design has always been an important part of any renovation project or new construction, yet even more light has been shed on this part of the process as the A380 and future models will require larger gates, bigger hangers and improved baggage-collection and passenger transport services. Yeaman states that “due to the aircraft’s high passenger volume…gate hold rooms may have to double in size, concourses need to be widened and capacity of ticket processing and customs areas may need to be expanded” (2001, p. 4).

A 5 storey carpark with a 600 car capacity will also be built to accommodate visitors and staff alike. The Sports Complex on the other hand, will be very professionally furnished and supplied with the latest in exercise equipment for the users’ benefit. An Olympic sized outdoor swimming pool will also be built, which can even be used in local water sports events. Duo Designers are the interior designers of choice who will be engaged in the project.
