Londoners caught a glimpse of the future Aquatics Centre today after the first of its new windows were installed.
The work marks an important step in the post-Games refurbishment of the stadium after the removal of the temporary seating stands — which were not part of architect Zaha Hadid’s original design.
The centre is expected to reopen to the public early next year.
Mayor Boris Johnson said: “With the first panes of glass expertly installed, we can start counting down the months to the grand opening of a world class public swimming facility next spring. The magnificent shape of the Zaha Hadid design is forming day by day and the permanent legacy of this superb building will become evident.”
