PAGE 5Temporary vs legacy
• Quick response and turnaround for assembling and dismantling ( ex: Use of Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre in Sydney)
• Temporary overlay is the software working with the legacy (hardware).
• Very low capital expenditure requirements if hired
• No post events maintenance required ( ex: Dining Room used for the Olympic village in Sydney)
• Flexibility in its use and impact on the environment ( ex: Equestrian centre in Athens delayed due to major archaeological discovery on site) • Customising the needs of the event ( ex: Medal Plaza in Salt Lake City)
• Less constraints in the temporary regulations versus the building regulations ( ex: width of temporary seats platform of 80-85 cm in permanent facilities against width as low as 60 cm in temporary grandstands thus increasing the seating capacity on the same surface area by more than 25%)
• Extra source of revenue ( ex: Temporary seats are directly linked to the income stream from ticketing: Sponsor and Prestige villages at the World Cup of Soccer launch, Opening ceremony in Salt Lake City)
