HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON ADMISSIONS
AND ALUMNI BASE NOW

We often hear from administrators that their schools are in great need of repair and renovations, but they just don’t have the resources to carry out these improvements and fulfill their vision. In fact, we’ve had so many of these disheartening conversations, and have watched so many facilities fail to advance, that it became clear we needed to help find a solution.

Where there’s a will there’s a way and we believe we have come up with an idea that will help. We’ve incorporated into the Campus Master Planning process a method for also determining how the master plan would be funded. After many discussions, we teamed with an expert financial firm who will prepare a detailed financial analysis for the school based on the developed master plan. The analysis determines the income level required for the school to fulfill the selected master plan, and then determines the most appropriate ‘mix’ of funding options required to achieve that income level. Should they take out a loan, raise tuition, sell an under utilized property, a combination of these, etc.?

Preparing the financial analysis and utilizing a mix of funding options allows the school to start work on their vision before all of the funds from the Capital Campaign are collected. They are years ahead of the game and not only beat inflation, but also have a positive impact on admissions and their alumni base now.

All the Best,
Steven C. Habeeb, AIA
President

WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?

Following our Campus Master Planning presentation at ACAAP and The Advancements Counsel's Conferences, many of you asked what's the next step? What do we do now if we are interested in developing a Master Plan?

The answer is simple: if your School has a need for our services, we will be happy to provide an initial consult and site visit. The visit would include an introduction of our firm, a tour of your campus and detailed dscussions on the requirements of your campus and your vision for the future. We would then prepare a proposal for you based on those discussions. There is no fee for this initial consult.

If you would like us to provide a consultation and site visit, contact me to discuss your particular needs and make arrangements.

ST. COLETTA CARDINAL CUSHING SCHOOL

Conceptual and Master Plan Designs were developed for the project at St. Coletta and Cardinal Cushing School so that they could be used to generate interest and excitement for the rehabilitation and expansion of the academic and administrative spaces at the school.

A 3D Video was developed to increase donors aware-ness and understanding of the project.

The images shown here were printed in large scale and used at school functions and in fund-raising events.


Happy

Thanksgiving!
