The following companies were established: f Hamar Olympiske Anlegg AS: Hamar Olympic Hall Hamar Olympic Amphitheatre f Gjøvik Olympiske Anlegg AS: Gjøvik Olympic Cavern Hall f Olympiaparken AS: Birkebeineren Ski Stadium Lysgårdsbakkene Ski Jumping Arena Kanthaugen Freestyle Arena f Håkons Hall AS: Håkon Hall f Hunderfossen Bob- og Akebane AS: Lillehammer Olympic Bobsleigh and Luge Track f Kvitfjell Alpinanlegg AS: Lillehammer Olympic Alpine Centre, Kvitfjell f Sameiet Hafjell Riksanlegg: Lillehammer Olympic Alpine Centre, Hafjell All of these companies entered into contracts with LOOC Construction (previously LOA) concerning the managerial responsibility for planning and constructing the arenas. Based on the various “premises” that were specified by LOOC and approved in January 1990, the planning, estimating and budgeting work began. In some areas, however, significant additional premises were added. This applied to the following areas: f Architecture f Environment f AOM (Administration, Operations, Maintenance) A r c h i t e c t u r e A separate consultancy group was established for developing and following up on the premises laid down for “surroundings and architecture”. The group consisted of an architect, an industrial designer, a landscape architect and a specialist in environmental protection. These persons developed a set of general premises, as well as a set of specific premises for each Olympic arena. In the general premises, emphasis was put on the following: f Norwegian distinctiveness f Environmental protection f Unified design f Aesthetic quality In the specific premises for each arena, the general premises were concretised based on the site’s geography, topography, surroundings, need for functionality and type of sport. A number of specific arenas or buildings were also pointed out as structures that one wanted to signal out as “attentiongetters”. The premises could be found in the following document: Olympics ‘94 Visual profile: Surroundings and architecture. The above-mentioned document was the starting point for all architects who were hired for planning the arenas. As the planning progressed, quality control was conducted by a separate LOOC committee.
E n v i r o n m e n t In the autumn 1990, a document describing the Environmental Goals for the Lillehammer Games 1994 was completed. This document contained requirements for an “Environmental construction of arenas”. Emphasis was to be put on the following: f Take into account the region’s cultural values and the local economic base f Adapt the architecture to the region’s own identity f Aim at achieving environmental solutions for excavated mass and for landscape architecture f Allow for energy economisation measures and recycling of materials f Emphasize national goals for the work environment, health and safety P r o j e c t The project directors and project managers were central in coordinating all activities at the various arenas, also for activities that for financial or contractual reasons were assigned to other departments. The last 6 months of 1993, there was a need to hire technical personnel who could run the operations at the arenas during the Games. The result was that the project managers for the various construction projects and site engineers took over these functions. The Equipment/installations Department functioned as a maintenance service for the temporary b u i l d i n g s . After the Lillehammer Games, the Construction Department was merged with the Material Administration and Acquisition Departments in order to better coordinate the demobilisation activities at the arenas and organise the sale of equipment and material. A d m i n i s t r a t i o n , o p e r a t i o n s a n d m a i n t e n a n c e ( A O M ) Separate premises were developed for AOM and AOMdocumentation and were compiled in a separate document. In terms of requirements for functionality, energy economization and choice of materials, this document did not specify any demands beyond that which was already specified in other premise documents. The scope of the requirements for documentation were significantly larger than what had been previously the case for such large construction projects.
