Arena steelworks on the right track

摘要

The Derby Multi-sports Arena was one of the first Olympics legacy projects to get under way following last year's Games. Earthworks began in October 2012 on the former car park site, with the erection of the arena's steel frame commencing in June this year. Funded by Derby City Council and Sport England (which has invested £3m through its Iconic Facilities Olympic and Paralympic legacy fund), the 14,500 sq m arena is being built next to Derby County Football Club's Pride Park Stadium.
