Office Premises
Since its inception, the NOC did not enjoy the luxury of office premises and each successive Secretary General had made his own ad hoc arrangements to provide a Secretariat to the NOC. This was far from satisfactory and it was well nigh impossible to provide the services that an organisation such as the NOC should provide to the Associations to a satisfactory degree and the dream of an efficient organisation of sports was far from realised.
In September 1995 a headquarters of sorts was established. But when the passing of time this building which was rather old soon became unsuitable for occupation and the N.O.C was shifted to a section of Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium.
The Olympic House
The dream of many an Olympic Committee Official came true on 25th September 2008 when the “Olympic House” was ceremonially declared open at No. 100/9F, Independence Avenue, Colombo 7. This was a stupendous task as the total cost of the building which amounted to nearly Rs. 150 million had to be raised through grants, donations and sponsorships.
The building of the Olympic House became a reality with the laying of the foundation stone for the building on 11th May 2007 by Hon. Gamini Lokuge, Minister of Sports and Public Recreation. Since then steady progress was achieved in building operations and the Olympic House was declared open on 25th September 2008.
