Boundary wall at Bakalarr School

home > projects > Bakalarr projects > boundary wall

The perimeter wall around Bakalarr School [MAP] was completed in July 2003. This page shows the story of its construction. The outside of this wall has since been transformed into an 'art gallery', with numerous paintings by the children. Update - paintings on the wall

When we first visited the school at Bakalarr, there was nothing to show the boundary of the site. Children and visitors (including wildlife) could roam through the area unchecked.
trenches have been dug for the wall foundations (this is not snow on the ground - just an exposure problem!) sand is unloaded from a small trailer (again an exposure problem gives the appearance of snow!)

The blocks were cast on site and the wall constructed on sound foundations. Below you can see the mason with some labourers beside the first section of the wall completed.
