Kanthaugen Freestyle Arena

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

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.

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.
