Case Study: National Dance Institute
Founded 30 years ago by New York City Ballet principal dancer Jacques d'Amboise, National Dance Institute ("NDI") has decided to establish a permanent home for its Center for Learning and The Arts in Manhattan's Chinatown or Lower East Side. Following the issuance of a Request for Proposals, NDI designated B+C as its Project Manager. The firm assembled a team of experts to analyze NDI's programmatic and space use requirements, evaluate its current and future operating budget needs, address the fund raising feasibility for both capital and endowment monies, and investigate a range of building sites and types that match NDI's needs and resources. B+C has completed the first phase of a vision and business plan, which includes a recommendation regarding a second phase. The second phase has been started and will include a refinement of the business plan, architectural renderings, site evaluation/test-fits, the launching of the quiet phase of a capital campaign, and conversations with elected officials.
