The Copper Box Arena during 2012
The Copper Box Arena played host to a number of events during the London 2012 Games, most notably the fencing section of the modern pentathlon and the Paralympic goalball and handball events.
Following the Games, Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL) were appointed to operate the Copper Box Arena through to 2023, along with the London Aquatics Centre. Find out more about GLL on their website.
Sustainability
Sustainability has been an important part of the Copper Box Arena’s design and operation since the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
This includes:
Sustainable lighting
88 light tunnels light the main Copper Box Arena hall with natural light, saving up to 40% of energy costs.
Sustainable building materials
3,000m2 of high recycled content copper covers the Copper Box Arena, giving the arena its name!
New innovations
We are now working to model and trial innovative approaches to reducing energy use. Including new modelling methods used to identify energy saving opportunities, and algorithms that identify energy savings on a real time basis.
This work has resulted in a 54% reduction in operational emissions intensity and a 12% reduction in water consumption against the 2014 baseline.
