Luckily, it happened on a Saturday. The school was empty. On this long November weekend, a wall supporting part of the raised courtyard of the Révolution-Jet d'eau school group, in 3e district of Marseille, partially collapsed, bringing the end of it onto the adjoining land below. Research by the dog brigade confirmed that the collapse did not cause any casualties.
Quickly informed, municipal services arrived. “ Experts inspected the premises, as well as the school building which is not impacted », Tells us the municipality, specifying that the school will be able to welcome its students from this Tuesday. As a precautionary measure, however, part of the schoolyard was fenced off and marked to prevent children from entering. A class will also have to be moved for the duration of a structural design office.
« The Marseille fire brigade battalion, mobilized as quickly as possible, will participate in additional visits by experts this Tuesday morning to define possible additional measures. », further specifies the city.
Although it is currently difficult to make a connection, the courtyard of this “pilot” establishment was dewatered and greened in the fall of 2021 as part of the work on the major School Plan for the city of Marseille. In this part in particular, corresponding to the nursery school courtyard, the bitumen had been removed and now accommodated an educational garden and an outdoor classroom space in the shade of the large poplar tree.
