The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) has launched a free-access online knowledge resource of more than 250 documents charting the learning, innovation and best practice from the construction of the London 2012 project. The Learning Legacy marks the first time a UK construction project has sought to capture intellectual capital on this scale. The resource is a collaborative approach between the ODA, contractors, professional institutes, government bodies and academia. Under the initiative the organisations involved are taking ownership of ten themes to help businesses raise the bar in areas such as design and engineering, planning, procurement and project management. In addition it sets out how the ODA tackled issues such as getting more women into construction, building better health and safety records, creating a green landscape from a former industrial site and completing projects on time and within budget. The website will be added to over time, forming a comprehensive online library.

The aim of the project is to identify, develop as necessary, make accessible and promote resources which can support higher education programmes in engaging students in learning through opportunities afforded by the Olympic and Paralympic Games and their legacy.

A research study, carried out by staff in the School of Architecture and the Built environment at the University of Westminster, has been published by RICS. The study found that the regeneration of the Olympic Park site and associated infrastructure will be a crucial step in providing a lasting legacy in East London. The report highlights London’s focus on legacy from the outset as a key factor in planning for lasting benefit. It also confirms that the Games provide a unique opportunity to kick-start the delivery of new homes and infrastructure on and around the site. Other regeneration initiatives nearby, such as Westfield Stratford City, are also vital in providing wider regeneration and opportunities for East Londoners.
