How we’ve evolved

Here East is an innovation and technology campus situated in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Hackney, East London. The former Olympic Media Centre was left in the wake of the 2012 Games, and in 2014 was reinvented, courtesy of a privately funded, £120m regeneration project. Today, the architectural masterstroke unites culture, enterprise, entrepreneurship and education under one roof, whether the focus is dance, digital technology or game development.
