The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is sharing the knowledge and the lessons learned from the construction of the Olympic Park through a project called the Learning Legacy. It aims to raise the bar within the sector and showcase sustainable, safe and successful construction practises, case studies and innovations that the building industry will benefit from in the future.

The launch of the project marks the first time that a construction project in the UK has sought to capture intellectual capital on this scale.

Learning Legacy is a collaborative approach between the ODA, contractors, professional institutes, government bodies and academia, and builds on the ethos set by the ODA of setting targets well above the industry benchmarks, meeting the majority of these and, in a number of cases, exceeding expectations.

The programme showcases the positive effect the London 2012 construction projects have had on the industry and will encourage businesses to perform better.

The programme is centred around the Learning Legacy website that outlines the programme and provides case studies, reports, tools and templates and research summaries across the ten industry themes. 

The ten themes are: Design and engineering innovation; Equality, Inclusion, Employment and skills; Health and safety; Masterplanning and town planning; Procurement and supply chain management; Programme organisation and project management; Sustainability; Systems and technology; Transport; Archaeology.
