As described in the Team, Media and VIP Hotels sections, working facilities have to be provided in the hotels according to the needs of the relevant groups.

The types of working areas needed will vary from group to group but, in general, will be as follows:

Team Hotel(s)

  • Information Desk
  • Physiotherapy room (LOC)
  • Team Physiotherapy rooms (upon request)
  • Team Meeting room (according to number and needs of each team)
  • Doping Control Station/Rooms (as directed by the European Athletics Doping Control Delegate)
  • Restaurant areas (according to the sizes of the teams accommodated)
  • LOC Administration/Accommodation office (normally near the team accreditation centre)
  • LOC room (according to need: work or storage area)
  • Team Accreditation Centre (if not located elsewhere)
  • Technical Meeting venue (if not located elsewhere)

Media Hotel(s)

  • Information Desk
  • Sub-Media centre (if European Athletics media department regards it as necessary)

VIP Hotel(s)

  • Information Desk
  • VIP Accreditation Centre
  • European Athletics Office
  • LOC office (according to need: work or storage area)
  • European Athletics Meeting room(s)
  • European Athletics Council office (according to European Athletics suggestion)
  • Drivers’ resting area (if dedicated/pool cars are provided)

All working areas have to be equipped by the LOC as required by European Athletics, and before the arrival of the first working person.

Much of the work carried out in these areas is performed by volunteers and it is important that they are well trained and briefed on all aspects of their duties and the organisation well in advance in order to be fully operational as from the first day.

The European Athletics Event Department will provide the LOC with specific office requirements.
