The Emirates Arena & Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome is the only completely new sports facility designed for the games provides two distinctly separate arenas under one roof. The arena and velodrome are linked by a connecting building which includes offices for the National Sport Federations.

3DReid also provided Interior Design services for all operational areas of the building. In addition to finishes and colour schemes for the main Sports Arena, Sports Hall, Velodrome and associated facilities, the team designed the interiors for the Main Concourse, Main Reception and Café, Community Sports facilities including Dance Studios, Fitness Suite, Treatment Rooms, Spa Complex, Conditioning Suite, Physiotherapy, Doping Control, elite athlete and team changing rooms, Event Management, Judging and Press facilities and the Function Suite.

Innovations & added value

Economies have been made in the design by combining public facilities, changing and support facilities, and building services serving the main event spaces.
