Olympic Stadiums That Now Serve Completely Different Purposes

22. Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic Arena (2016) – Now a Public School

Original Purpose: Hosted gymnastics events for the 2016 Rio Olympics. New Purpose: Transformed into multiple public schools as part of an innovative modular design plan. Rio planned for some of its venues to be disassembled and repurposed after the Games. The Olympic Arena was deconstructed and reassembled into four public schools, providing much-needed educational infrastructure for local communities.
