Raising the Roof at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Take a look at how
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park's
Stadium is being bought to life ahead of this year's
Rugby World Cup and becoming the permanent home of
West Ham United and
National Competition Centre for athletics in the UK in 2016.
Filmed over a three month period between October and
December 2014, the timelapse footage captures the first piece of roof panelling being lifted into place.
When complete the new roof will be twice the size of the original at around 45,000 square metres. At 84 metres at its deepest
point it will be the longest cantilevered roof of its type in the world and will cover every seat in the Stadium, improving acoustics and the spectator experience for football matches, other sporting events and concerts.
