About the Learning Legacy

The construction project for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games has been delivered by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) on time and on budget.

The ODA set itself and the project’s supply chain challenging targets and milestones, most well above industry standards and benchmarks. The majority of these have now been achieved and, in some cases, exceeded: The project has a strong health and safety record, achieved high sustainability outcomes and challenged some of the historic and long-standing inequalities within the UK construction sector.

Learning Legacy’s aim is to share the knowledge and lessons learned from the London 2012 construction project to raise the bar within the construction sector and to act as a showcase for UK plc. The ODA has worked closely with contractors, industry partners, government bodies and academia to capture the lessons learned and document best-practice examples and innovations for the benefit of future projects.

Reports and related information from the Learning Legacy have been categorised into 10 themes. Within each theme there are short reports, tools and templates, case studies and research summaries that document how this area of work was approached and the lessons that have been learned and the successes that could benefit others.
