The role of FM in delivering the 2012 Olympic Games to London (article from UK periodical FMWorld)

The immediate challenge is to build and deliver world-class event and transport facilities that will be able to cope with the influx that the games will bring, as well as securing a legacy for the years after the games have packed up and moved on.
With an estimated £2 million being spent every day between 2007 and 2012 and with more than 6,000 construction staff at its peak, facilities managers will feel the full weight of responsibility for ensuring that everything and everyone is ready when the doors swing open and the Games come to town.
