The enclosures, which are rented and can be reused after the Games, are clad in around 18,000 square metres of phthalate-free PVC membrane with coloured openings that help break-up the white façades, create structural tension in the membrane, and provide natural ventilation and light. The foundations for the venue were created by driving reclaimed gas pipelines into the ground. A steel frame connects the piles together to prevent the use of concrete that can cause subsidence and damage to the earth when the venue is demounted. Three outdoor ranges will host the Olympic Shotgun competitions and will then be transformed to stage Paralympic Archery competitions afterwards.

Featuring a series of coloured openings, the temporary shooting venue for the 2012 Olympics was created to be immediately dismantled after the Games.
