The basketball arena that will be used during the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games in London has be completed, but it wasn't designed to be a lasting structure.
Construction began on the temporary arena back in October 2009, but the London Olympic committee says that it will be reused after the games are complete next year. Reused by whom and for what wasn't revealed.
The 12,000 seat arena features a steel frame that weighs in at a cool 1,000 metric tonnes, with a full 20,000 square meters of recyclable PVC stretched around it. As for what will happen to the arena once the Olympics are complete, a press release states:
"After the Games the venue will be dismantled by the contractors which built and own the temporary elements, with the option of potentially using elements of the arena at other UK and overseas events."
The basketball arena is the fourth Olympic structure to be completed so far.
