Youth Olympic Games 2010

3. The Youth Olympic Village

The Youth Olympic Village for the inaugural games in Singapore in 2010 will now be located at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) campus. The Olympic Village at NTU will comprise an Olympic Village Square and a cluster of residential halls on an adjoining site.

Some juice on the YOV:

It is located 13km from the city centre and within 30 minutes of travelling time to all YOG sports venues
It is built to the latest environmental standards on a compact 19 hectare former golf course, integrating residential, educational, cultural and recreational facilities in a seamless design which takes advantage of the natural lush terrain
There will be a residential zone with eight 5 to 9-storey residential colleges, each consisting of either four- or six-room apartments
It will provide 5000 beds – more than enough for the expected number of athletes and officials
It will be equipped with state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities, including village-wide wireless broadband for the youth athletes

Here's what the Village will look like in terms of layout if you're an eagle!

with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play"
