FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR

AN ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTRE

in Richmond Hill, ON

As Theatre Management Consultant to IER Associates, Janis Barlow provided guidance for a new arts and cultural centre for the Town of Richmond Hill in 1997.

Janis Barlow reviewed the market and needs assessment provided by IER, as well as the proposed business plan. Based on the proposed uses, the inventory of facilities, the competitive environment, the growing market in the region, and the operating conditions required by the Town, she recommended a 600-seat theatre with a fly tower.

The design group attached to the project, Theatre Projects Consultants, were committed to the architectural aesthetics of a 400-seat theatre. The compromise was a 500-seat theatre with no fly tower.
