A landmark since its opening in 1886, the Olympia Exhibition Centre is being reimagined as a global destination for entertainment and culture, with an increased focus on community and shared spaces. The development includes 7 separate buildings, each with their own unique challenges, including extension to the exhibition space, conference centre, retail and entertainment, office space, a music venue, a theatre, 2 hotels and educational facilities.
The centre-piece of the development is the elevated public realm topped with five large, curved steel arches making up the canopy, each with a span of 22 metres. Its pleated glazing motif is inspired by the façade of the Grade II listed Grand Hall. The project was delivered by a team of senior façade consultants from Wintech supported by our in-house structural and building physics teams.
