Bellairs research institute is located on the west coast of the Island of Barbados in St-James Parish, a few miles north of Holetown. It has been owned by McGill University for a few decades and it is a very nice site to organize workshops. Print MAP to help find the site. |

The institute comprises a few labs as well as dormitories for roughly 18 people, two per rooms, and plenty of green space to sit, talk, and work. There is also a large dinning room where lectures may be organized. It is part of the center building on the picture next door. The institute also includes the Seabourne House which is located straight on the coast. This is usually where the organizer(s) and familly live during the workshop. Straight behind the house is the Carabean sea. Next door from McGill's site is the Folkstone park & marine reserve with a nice beach. Indeed when you arrive by car, driving north from Holetown, the Folkestone park & reserve is the sign that you are reaching McGill's site. When you pass the park on your left you will see a small road with sign "Coral Reef Club Goods Delivery Entrance". This is Bellairs' entrance !!! Don't miss it ! As you turn on this small road you will find the institute entrance on your left hand side, after passing a lab/office building. If you are still hesitating as whether you will join us at the workshop, take a look at the Atlantic seashore, about an hour drive from our side of the island... |
