Orlando, Florida, USA
Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts

This major new facility in Orlando has a mission to create experiences that educate as much as entertain. Our initial strategic planning work helped them to find ways to offer inspiring programming that the entire community can enjoy.

The City of Orlando contracted us in 1985 to examine the feasibility of a new performing arts center. Our recommendation was to wait—the city had a growing cultural scene, but we advised them to develop it further and create an arts organization to gather support and resources. Once the performing arts scene had flourished further, we developed a cultural comprehensive plan, then worked with architects Barton Myers Associates, HKS, and Baker Barrios Architects to design a world-class home for those artists.
