Facility Planning And Management Consulting Services
Planning, building and operating a theatre, arts centre, gallery or other cultural venue is a very complex process with many parts. The process does not begin nor end with architectural issues. The Building or Organizing Committee must address the operational, planning and management issues early on in the process to ensure a smooth design development, construction, start-up and an effective and efficient ongoing operation.
Schick Shiner and Associates use their unique blend of experience to assist the client/user in making the important early planning decisions which will be cost effective and will ensure the best result with the resources available.
This is achieved by:
- programming and functional analysis;
- assessing audience potential and community needs;
- development of realistic operating and capital budgets and revenue forecasting;
- selection and analysis of sites;
- assessment of size and shape of performance spaces in relationship to community needs and performance functions;
- development of operating models;
- board development workshops;
- development of management organizational structures, staffing levels and job descriptions;
- development of start-up plans and the development of the first year programming; and
- set up of accounting and management control systems.
