Challenges

As part of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Velodrome is a world-class venue that remains highly prestigious. It was therefore essential that works were carried out to an exceptional standard while ensuring the safety of the public and avoiding disruption to building users.

Our Approach

• Design and installation of a bespoke café bar
• Refurbishment of lighting, power, and toilet facilities
• New partitions, ceilings, flooring, and decorations
• Fire door installations and fire stopping measures throughout

Outcomes

The refurbishment was delivered to a very high standard, enhancing facilities while maintaining seamless operation of the venue.
