Building Feasibility Study
A Building Feasibility Study helps organizations to determine the type of space ideal for their needs. This type of study can:
- Help you assess the feasibility of relocating to a new space or renovating existing space.
- Determine if your current space maximizes your operational and artistic effectiveness, and help you to evaluate your options.
- Help lay the groundwork for a capital campaign by pointing to specific space requirements, which you can use to help project your capital and operational funding goals.
- Help you to organize your search for space by highlighting absolutely necessary features (i.e. loading docks, elevators, etc.).
- Determine which space elements are desirable but not “deal breakers.”
