Here East intends to offer the most advanced digital infrastructure in Europe, using the connectivity and facilities created for the Press and Broadcast Centre during the Games. Laing O'Rourke will redevelop the existing buildings of the media complex on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford to create a world-leading center of innovation, education and enterprise.

Laing O'Rourke CEO Anna Stewart said: "Here East is not only creating a world class digital and creative hub but will also deliver immediate economic benefits for East London and the wider UK through the creation of skilled employment and training opportunities during the construction phase. Laing O'Rourke is incredibly proud to be returning to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to help bring about this vision."
