stanton williams: eton manor

london-based firm stanton williams has sent images of the recently completed 'eton manor', a venue for the olympic and paralympic aquatic training for the london 2012 olympic park. accommodating 10,500 spectators for wheelchair tennis events and 3,000 for hockey games, the complex revitalizes its immediate context while creating a northern gateway into the park. the land has been reshaped to create smooth and accessible transitions from the area to bridges and facilities. a freshly layered site engages with its surroundings, tranforming the original heritage of the community center into a location for sporting legacy.
