Possibly the only elite sporting venue in the world to be built from recycled cushions, the water polo arena is a temporary venue located next to the Aquatics Centre in the south-east corner of the Olympic Park. The venue will feature a 37-metre competition pool and warm-up pool.
Designed to complement the look of the Aquatics Centre, the wedge-shaped arena will rise from 12 metres to 25 metres and feature a rippling roof made of recycled PVC cushions inflated with air to provide extra insulation.
It will share some of the Aquatics Centre’s back-of-house facilities such as catering, security and the area for broadcasters.
After the Games, the arena will be taken down. Various parts of the dismantled venue are due to be re-used or relocated elsewhere in the UK
