Olympic Torch reaches Loughborough University Stadium
Hundreds of local school children greeted the London 2012 Olympic Torch as it passed through the recently completed Loughborough University Stadium designed by Watson Batty Architects. The torch entered the stadium to huge cheers from the near capacity crowd before embarking on one circuit of the ground and then being exchanged between the Torch relay runners.
Loughborough University is the official base camp for Team GB in the lead up to the Olympic Games where some of the recently completed WBA sports projects will be used by our Olympians.
Watson Batty Architects wish all concerned and Team GB the very best of luck.
