Reference excerpt

The Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre or UDAC was a facility of the London 2012 Summer Olympics, at 101 Stephenson Street in Canning Town, London. It was opposite the Star Lane Docklands Light Railway station.

History and design The UDAC was a converted brick warehouse. It was built around 1925 and used to be the offices of the Canning Town Glass Works. In 2012, it was decorated with London 2012 banners and flags. Outside the UDAC was an office where people who had gone through the accreditation process could collect an Oyster card. On 27 April 2012, the UDAC was officially opened by Lord Coe and Paul Deighton.

Usage The UDAC was the location for Olympic and Paralympic staff and volunteers to collect their accreditation passes and uniforms. It also had an area to take photographs for accreditation passes. The uniform area consisted of changing rooms where many volunteers collected their uniforms; they criticised the UDAC for not having mirrors there, which the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) said was intended to speed up the process. On 27 June, Prime Minister David Cameron visited the facility where he assisted the volunteers working at the UDAC. He was heckled while giving a speech to the volunteers.

After the Olympics The UDAC was under the control of London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) until September 2012 when they finished using it after the 2012 Paralympic Games. On 17 September, Newham London Borough Council approved plans to demolish the facility and construct a series of industrial buildings in its place, intended as part of London's Olympic legacy.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre

In research: Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2012 Summer Paralympic venues, 2012 disestablishments in England, 2012 establishments in England, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Uniform Distribution and Accreditation Centre outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
