Olympic Stadium LED wrap approved

|

The London Legacy Development Corporation has confirmed that the proposed LED Stadium Wrap for the former Olympic Stadium has been granted planning permission on the 27th October, subject to conditions of operation and impact mitigation. The procurement process for the new wrap is ongoing and a preferred contractor should be announced before the end of the year. The news was published in LLDC’s board meeting from 24th November.

The wrap will stretch around the north, east and south sides of the Stadium and would be capable of displaying moving, colour content. The LEDs will be housed in a structure attached to back of the existing Stadium bowl. Hours of usage will be limited so as to be sensitive to neighbouring uses and ecology. The west side of the Stadium, facing the Fish Island Conservation Area, will not have any LEDs.

 The LLDC say the wrap is intended to fulfil the following objectives: 

  • Enhance the Stadium aesthetics and provide a creative, feature lighting installation; 
  • Provide flexibility to reflect the look and feel of events taking place within the multi-use Stadium;
  • Provide a positive community asset – promote the wider Park, whilst ensuring content is sensitive to neighbours and neighbouring uses;
  • Provide the opportunity for Stadium naming rights partner activation.
