Description

The Rodford Alley School was Malton's most prestigious art school, seeing many of Malton's most famous artists come and go through it's halls. During the early months of the zombie outbreak, many of the artists who lived in the area barricaded themselves within. A heated dispute between two painters about the aesthetics of abstraction ended up with the large entrance door being broken down from the inside, allowing a massive swell of zombies to enter and devour all the survivors. Nowadays Rodford Alley School is used as a free running entry point, while also serving as a minor safehouse for less agile survivors. The 'Sards claimed it as a designated fallback point in the event of a breach of Frossard Place Police Department's barricades.

As of 2007, details about its current state (residency, barricades, etc.) remain largely sketchy.

Barricade Policy

According to the Lockettside Barricade Plan this building should be barricaded at EHB.

Current Status
