The 2032 Olympic Games in Brisbane, Australia will be here before we know it and the Queensland government has just revealed fresh renderings of the proposed National Aquatic Centre design.
The Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) will take over Centenary Pool at Spring Hill on September 1, when early works will begin on site, with three firms selected for the centre’s design: ARM Architecture, NH Architecture and Queensland-based Arkhefield.
With a roofline reflecting water and wind, the National Aquatic Centre will feature new pools, a gym, high-performance and office spaces, complementing the existing outdoor pools and amenities of the heritage-listed Centenary Pool. The centre is expected to accommodate 25,000 spectators during the Games with a legacy capacity of 8,000 seats thereafter.
Premier David Crisafulli said the Government was delivering for 2032 and beyond.
“In six years time, the Olympic and Paralympic Games are coming to Queensland, and we will be ready.
“The eyes of the world will be on us in 2032, but this is about delivering legacy benefits for all of Queensland well beyond that.
“The Centenary Pool is a proud part of Queensland’s swimming history and as a centrepiece for the action during 2032, that history will be strengthened into the future.” (Queensland.gov)
