This section covers the process of registering, producing, distributing and validating the 8 London 2012 Olympic Technical Officials’ Guide Aquatics Key informationKey OIAC, which permits the holder access rights and other privileges for the Olympic Games. Olympic Identity and Accreditation Card (OIAC) Cardholder‘s photo Accreditation Cardholder’s category information Additional privileges Registration number and barcode Venue and sport access codes Zone and seating access codes When the OIAC is accompanied by a valid passport, it authorises multiple entries into the UK for its registered holder between 30 March 2012 and 8 November 2012 for a maximum period of six months from the first entry. The OIAC does not permit access to Olympic venues until it has been validated. Before validation, the OIAC is referred to as a Pre-Valid Card. Pre-Valid Cards can be validated at Heathrow Airport as of 27 June 2012; at the Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre (UDAC); and/or at the Venue Accreditation Help Offices (VAHOs) that are located in close proximity to the competition venues. For technical officials, the primary accreditation centre is the UDAC in West Ham. The times designated for Aquatics technical officials to visit the UDAC to have their accreditation validated (if required) and collect their uniforms are as follows: London 2012 Olympic Technical Officials’ Guide Aquatics 9 Client group Hotel Date Times Commission Grange Tower 26 July 14:00 Committee Grange Tower 27 July 12:00 Diving ITOs Premier Inn 27 July 14:00 NTOs Premier Inn 27 July 14:00 Commission Grange Tower 25 July 16:00 Committee Grange Tower 26 July TBC Swimming ITOs Premier Inn 26 July 12:00 NTOs Premier Inn 26 July 14:00 Commission Grange Tower 7 August 16:00 Committee Grange Tower 7 August 16:00 Marathon Swimming ITOs Premier Inn 7 August 10:00 NTOs Premier Inn 7 August 10:00 Commission Grange Tower 2 August 10:00 Committee Grange Tower 3 August 09:00 Synchronised Swimming ITOs Premier Inn 3 August 10:00 NTOs Premier Inn 3 August 10:00 Commission Grange Tower 26 July 09:00 Committee Grange Tower 27 July 12:00 Water Polo ITOs Premier Inn 27 July 12:00 NTOs Premier Inn 27 July 09:00 Shuttle buses will transport technical officials to and from the UDAC.

Stolen, lost or damaged OIACs If a Pre-Valid Card is stolen, lost or damaged before the holder’s arrival in the UK, he/she should report it to the responsible organisation (the IF; or, for NTOs, LOCOG Sport), which must then inform LOCOG Accreditation. Stolen, lost or damaged cards will be cancelled in the accreditation system and will not be validated even if recovered at a later stage. The applicant will not be cancelled in the system, but he/she must visit a Primary Accreditation Centre to have his/her OIAC issued after arriving in the UK. The applicant will also need to follow the standard immigration requirements for entry into the UK. 10 London 2012 Olympic Technical Officials’ Guide Aquatics Key informationKey OIAC stolen, lost or damaged after validation In the event of theft, loss or damage (for example, tears or water damage) of the OIAC after validation, the OIAC holder should report it to the responsible organisation (the IF; or, for NTOs, LOCOG Sport), which must then inform LOCOG Accreditation.

  • The Olympics – Going for Gold and What Else? Can London 2012 Urban Regeneration Legacy Be Considered As Sustainable Development?
    The Olympics – Going for gold and what else? Can London 2012 urban regeneration legacy be considered as sustainable development? James Cunningham Master Thesis Series in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science, No 2014:033 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Lund University International Master’s Programme in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science (30hp/credits) LUCSUS Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies The Olympics - Going for gold and what else? Can London 2012 urban regeneration legacy be considered as sustainable development? James Cunningham A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Lund University International Master’s Programme in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science Submitted May 15, 2014 Supervisor: Chad Boda, LUCSUS, Lund University (This page is intentionally left blank) 2 Abstract: Olympic legacy was previously seen as a potential burden on the host city, however an evolutionary shift has occurred whereby it can now be regarded as an instrument in wider urban policy planning. Sustainable development is a requirement set by some governments, and London 2012 aimed to use the Olympic legacy for sustainable development in the form of urban regeneration. This paper is a case study of the London 2012 Olympics, using mixed methods involving interview, documents and personal observations. The focus is on the potential for mega sporting events such as the Olympics to contribute to sustainable urban development, and the London case, is used as an example of how this potential can be realised, and what problems it can occur. Within this, I analyse the concept of legacy itself, before using that definition to understand the sustainability of the London Olympics via the three pillars of sustainable development (Environment, Social and Economic).

  • LONDON 2012 a DECADE in the MAKING PRESS PACK Bid Masterplan Venues
    LONDON 2012 A DECADE IN THE MAKING PRESS PACK BID MASTERPlan VENUES BRAND OVERlaY LegacY actiVation LONDON 2012 A DECADE IN THE MAKING PRESS PACK BID Populous has been involved in 10 Olympic Games and were the bid architects for 3 consecutive host city awards for the cities of London 2012, Glasgow 2014 and Sochi 2014. Our unique experience allows us to identify and optimise the use of the city and surrounding areas to create compelling and compact venue distribution plans for potential host cities. With our in-depth analysis, we work alongside bidding cities to provide a comprehensive proposal to organise the Games that will appeal to the IOC and other major competition committees. Since 2003's initial site exploration, Populous assisted the London 2012 bid team with in house architects who created the bid winning London wide sports masterplan. MASTERPLAN Our process of masterplanning begins with a long term legacy strategy as the starting point for creating vibrant and sustainable places within cities. We use sporting and entertainment venues as urban catalysts and develop the relationship between social infrastructure elements, and enhance them to add value and character to the urban realm. For the London 2012 Olympic Park our design approach was imbedded in our masterplanning, ensuring that the personal experiences of all Games time and legacy user groups were considered from their respective mode of transport to their seat within the venue. VENUES With more than a 1,000 projects completed globally, we open locations to the world – creating iconic venues that become a financial success. Our portfolio includes the design of 3 Olympic stadiums - Sydney 2000, Sochi 2014 and the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, which has already become the centre piece of the park and a catalyst for the urban regeneration of East London.
