Facility Strategy
 
Edison Schools, Inc. - East Harlem Headquarters Project Retained in 2011, KBA is assisting Collegiate to navigate a variety of strategic decisions related to its facilities needs and historic location in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.  Working closely with Collegiate’ s architect, owner’s representative, attorneys, technical consultants, a broker, and a committee of the Board of Directors, KBA is defining the school’s programmatic needs and potential options for its facilities, including both on-site and off-site options.  KBA analyzed options for their capital cost, operating budget impact, programmatic value, timing, and other more qualitative measures, in order to provide a framework for the school’s decision-making.  KBA is now assisting Collegiate to select a strategic direction and negotiate real estate agreements.
