LONDON (AP) — The main press center for the 2012 London Olympics is taking shape.

Organizers said Wednesday the concrete structure is complete, with windows being added.

The five-floor press center will be used by more than 5,000 journalists during the Olympics. The building is next to the international broadcast center.

The media centers are being built in the Olympic Park in the Stratford area of east London. They are to be converted into business facilities after the games.

The press center will open on June 27, 2012, a month before the start of the Olympics.
