'Flatpack' Olympic basketball arena to be imported from Switzerland

The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is in talks with a Swiss sports arena manufacturer to import a 'flatpack' basketball venue for the London 2012 Olympics.

The Evening Standard reported that the ODA hoped it could reduce costs on the £60m arena by importing a £12m basic steel structure.

After the Games it would be dismantled and sold, with the land made available to developers.
