Description
The National English Literary Museum (NELM), located in the university town of Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, houses an extensive collection of manuscripts, books and journals relating to Southern African literature. NELM’s new building is Grahamstown’s first green building. The project was the first public building sanctioned by the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBSA). The building is seamlessly integrated into the ground’s park-like setting.
