The media centre for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will create just under 900,000ft² of green business and employment space in legacy.

The MPC will include 29,000m² of green office space, including a 2,500m2 'brown roof' of gravel and moss to encourage invertebrates and 60% of non-drinking water to be collected from across the Olympic Park.

A planning application for the IBC/MPC has been submitted this week.  The site has been cleared and the appointed contractor Carillion is preparing to start construction this spring.

Following a cash-injection from the Olympic contingency-fund and cost reductions of £25m announced in January, the total public funding for the project will be £355m which will all be met from the ODA budget.
