Berkeley Homes, the developer behind the regeneration of the former Green Park House site, has teamed up with two local primary schools to brighten up the construction area.
The developer has provided space on the site hoardings for Widcombe CofE Junior School and St Andrews CofE Primary School to get creative.
The two schools ran art projects to fill the spaces with colourful designs and these have now been installed on the hoardings at Green Park Road.
Widcombe School chose to create a piece on the theme of recycling to reflect the regeneration of a derelict brownfield site.
The montage features splashes of colour and fantastic creatures made of everyday recycled household objects.
St Andrew’s school focused on the future use of the site, with a montage of artworks reflecting the activities that will be taking place once the redevelopment is finished.
Entitled “student life”, it takes a colourful look at the day to day life of students in the city.
Proposals to redevelop the site of the derelict former care home at Green Park House were given the go ahead by planners at Bath and North East Somerset Council in May.
Work is well under way and Berkeley Homes has already undertaken the demolition of Green Park House which has blighted this prominent site since its closure a number of years ago.
The site, which includes the neighbouring empty 1960s office block Earnest Ireland House, will now be comprehensively redeveloped with purpose-built, managed student accommodation.
