AMS understands the significant investment associated with building, renovating, or restoring a performing or visual arts facility. In our experience, thorough planning can greatly enhance the organizational and communitywide benefits of this investment and contribute to the project's long-term success.

AMS works with non-profi t and commercial presenters and producers, universities, foundations and state and local governments from across the U.S. to develop a rigorous and objective analysis of market and economic feasibility for new theaters, concert halls, museums and performing arts centers. We've been involved in the planning for more than $1 billion in cultural facility projects, and we bring that collective experience and insight to each of our feasibility projects.

Our feasibility services include:

• Vision and mission definition
• Market analysis, competition and potential
• Comparison facility case studies
• Community facility needs assessment
• Facility use projections, space programming and site assessment
• Business planning, financial projections and project financing
• Historic preservation and adaptive re-use analysis
