The School Lokomotiv terracotta project in Yaroslavl is retained here as a documented 2016 construction archive. The original LOPO article records terracotta panels and baguettes, two item references, two quantities and a 2015 year field. Two photographs and a short video show work in progress.

This revision separates those records from details the source does not establish. It does not turn an anticipated completion into a confirmed one, and it does not treat old item numbers or quantities as current product commitments.

Archived Project Record

The source does not name the architect, client, facade consultant, contractor or installer. It says the red plain-surface cladding was customised to an architect’s design, but it provides neither a person or practice name nor an approved finish schedule.

Why This Page Should Be the Primary Project Record

A sister LOPO domain carries an exact copy of the article, including its project data, construction wording, image and video. Indexing both versions would create two answers for the same entity without adding independent evidence. This original lopoterracotta.com URL should therefore own the named-project intent; the sister copy should redirect or canonicalise here.

For other references, browse the terracotta project gallery. This page should stay focused on School Lokomotiv rather than becoming a broad Russia portfolio page.

What the Construction Media Shows

The wider photograph shows a red-clad elevation, an unfinished upper zone, site equipment and construction activity. A second view shows red rectangular panel fields, openings, rails and partially completed areas. These observations support the identity of a terracotta construction record. They do not reveal an approved wall build-up, final workmanship or later building condition.

An Important Scope Ambiguity

The original copy says LOPO participated in finishing and decorating the school’s interior walls. The photographs and video, however, show external building elevations during construction, while the product label says facade panel and baguette. The archive does not resolve whether the recorded supply covered exterior work, interior work or both.

That discrepancy should remain explicit. Describing the page simply as an exterior facade case would overstate the written evidence; describing it only as interior work would ignore the media. A current reference check should ask for the contract scope, elevations, delivery schedule and completion record before making a more specific claim.

Reading the Panel and Baguette Record Carefully

The article identifies red, plain-surface terracotta wall cladding and two product families. See the current terracotta panel overview and terracotta baguette overview for present product-family context. Those pages should not be used to backfill undocumented modules, profiles or fixings into this historic case.

The two quantities also use different units: square metres for panels and linear metres for baguettes. Neither is labelled as ordered, produced, delivered, installed or accepted. They are useful archive entries, but not a basis for present pricing, take-off or carbon calculation.

Checks Needed Before Reusing This Precedent

• Confirm scope. Reconcile the interior-wall wording with the exterior construction media and identify the actual supplied zones.
• Confirm status. Obtain a dated completion or handover record rather than inferring completion from the 2015 field.
• Confirm products. Match item references to archived drawings, samples and delivery records; then check current feasibility separately.
• Confirm the assembly. Establish substrate, rails, anchors, cavity, water management, insulation, fire barriers, joints and edge conditions.
• Confirm project evidence. Require the calculations, tests, mock-ups, inspections and approvals applicable to the actual building and jurisdiction.

The current terracotta installation coordination guide explains the type of project information required. It does not certify the system visible in these photographs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was School Lokomotiv completed in 2015?

The source contains a 2015 year field, but its January 2016 text says construction would be completed soon. Without a completion record, 2015 should not be presented as a verified completion year.

Which LOPO products are recorded?

The archive lists panel reference F401970 and baguette reference T505070. These are historic entries only; current specifications, availability and suitability must be checked for each new project.

Do the photos prove how the facade was fixed?

No. Rails and incomplete areas are visible, but connection geometry, materials, fasteners, loads, tolerances and the complete weather-control assembly are not documented.

Does the page establish exterior or interior use?

Not conclusively. The text says interior-wall finishing, while the media shows exterior elevations and the product field uses facade terminology. The project record needs reconciliation before a narrower scope claim is made.
