The EDAW consortium and multidisciplinary consultants Arup and Atkins have been chosen to design the Olympic park and infrastructure.
The appointment, which was predicted in 黑洞社区 on 13 January, was confirmed on Tuesday.
The EDAW team, which includes Buro Happold and architects Foreign Office Architects, HOK Sport and Allies & Morrison, produced the masterplan for the successful bid.
Higgins said: "I am delighted to announce this appointment.
Getting the site infrastructure and landscape right is a key task for the ODA over the next two years."
The EDAW team, led by director Jason Prior, will now amend and extend the bid-winning masterplan and design the infrastructure elements of the park.
