Melville Koppies continues to inspire students

“Experiencing the space enabled students to come up with new ideas to improve visitors’ experiences,” said Grice.

Jenny Grice, Melville Koppies volunteer said recently Greenside Design Centre students had a chance to explore Melville Koppies.

She said the students spent several hours hiking the space, learning about its history and studying the area before they left to go back and create some possible designs to enhance the allure of Melville Koppies.
