Athletes' Village for 2014 Commonwealth Games, Scotland

RMJM will design the Athletes' Village for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, UK. As the masterplanner and design champion for the City Legacy Consortium, RMJM will create 700 homes and related accommodation for up to 8,000 athletes and officials, transforming a run down 38 hectare site in the East End of Glasgow into a much sought-after riverside residential area.

The unique design of the accommodation is highly flexible and allows for relatively simple post-Games retrofit for the legacy housing phase, which will eventually see a total of nearly 1,500 homes built. Work on the Athletes' Village is set to start in 2010, completing six months before the Games start in 2014. RMJM's landscape architecture division, Strata, has also been involved in the proposals.
