Work experience placement

The landscape design team offers a few work experience placements each year to students with a specific interest in landscape design. During their week with us students are asked to undertake a project looking at a real site which has potential for improvement and to produce a document recording their observations and design ideas.

 

work placement improvement planIn the past 12 months we have had two students undertake placements with the landscape team, Nicole Griffiths and Brenna Organ. Nicole looked at the recent Public Realm improvements in Barry Town Centre and produced a report highlighting what she saw as its successes and where further improvements could be made in similar schemes in the future. Brenna studied a neighbourhood playground in Barry and made proposals for its improvement. Both these documents are available to download below.
