The Water Polo Arena was inside the Olympic park and was used as a warm up pool and water polo events such as men's and women's Water Polo team events. The key aim of the design of the "wedge shaped" building was to create unique and great venue from a 'kit of parts' was that it could be recycled in the future. The construction of the building was started in spring 2011 and was completed after only 13 months since the grounds were broken. It was designed by the David Morley Architects and is a really unique and beautifully designed building. Its signature feature is its slopping roof. Covered with shinny silver PVC with recycled inflatable cushions built in. It has been described as a 'temporary splash' near the Olympic Aquatic Centre that was designed by Zaha Hadid. In the future the venue will be recycled and will be transported to another place in the UK or its materials will be sent off to be reused in building processes such as constructing new buildings.
