Abstract:
The feasibility assessment presented in this report evaluates the
potential feasibility of operating an educational facility at The Shire:
John Yeon Preserve for Landscape Studies. . It revises the 2005
assessment completed by the Community Planning Workshop (CPW)
based on a revised design program and potential educational programs.
Purpose
The fundamental purpose of this assessment is to:
• Propose a range of potential academic programs for The Shire
based on the results of The Shire Student Survey
• Determine the operating costs associated with each proposed
academic program
• Establish an appropriate fee structure based on user demand
and program costs
• Determine financial feasibility by comparing the annual
operating expenditures for each proposed academic program
with projected revenue based on a set fee schedule and
anticipated student demand
• Calculate a variety of circumstances that could make The
Shire financially feasible
