Olympic Water Polo Venue Gets David Morley Design

UK practice David Morley Architects has been appointed to design the temporary water polo venue in East London for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The contract for the 5,000-seat arena has been awarded by the Olympic Delivery Authority through its design services framework.

Construction is expected to start in 2011 and is expected to be completed within a year.

The arena will be removed after the Games and the land will be developed by the Olympic Park Legacy Company.
