Morgan Sindall has secured an £8.1m contract to deliver the new Mayesbrook Park Sports Arena in London, which will become one of the largest facilities of its kind in the UK.

The LRK Associates-designed complex is to include a 5,000sq m (53,820sq ft) sports hall; a 1,000sq m (10,764sq ft) gymnasium; and changing facilities. Due to be completed in February 2012, the new facility will be first used as a Games Time Training Venue by the British handball and wheelchair rugby teams.

Morgan Sindall regional director Peter Jacobs said: "Being involved in an Olympic build process is all about leaving a legacy for the local community, which is what Mayesbrook Park Sports Arena will do. "It will help to put the area on the global map, as it plays host to some of the world's leading athletes in 2012."
